Focusing on three key areas: prevention, support and investment, this book argues that tackling poverty and financial insecurity through well-designed social security systems could offer a new focus for improving our collective mental health.

Our knowledge and awareness of mental health has never been greater. Yet little progress has been made in addressing a key cause of population mental ill-health: financial insecurity.

This book argues that tackling inequalities through the social security system could offer a new focus to help stop our current trajectory of worsening poverty and distress.

Featuring original research and focusing on three key areas: prevention, support and investment, it sets out how well-designed social security systems could play a central role in our collective mental health and discusses the changes that are needed to get there.

Dr Katie Pybus is Lecturer in Mental Health at the University of York and a registered mental health nurse.
