🌍World Mental Health Day 2024 💚 

Today, on World Mental Health Day, we pause to reflect on the importance of mental health in every aspect of life – at home, at work and in our communities.  We also shine a light on the often-overlooked connection between financial wellbeing and mental health.  In the UK, where 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health issue each year, raising awareness and fostering open conversations about mental wellbeing has never been more vital.  As a UK-based Independent Financial Adviser (IFA), we understand that money worries are one of the leading causes of stress and anxiety, affecting millions across the country.

This year’s theme is ‘Mental Health is a Universal Human Right’, reminds us that financial health is an essential part of overall mental wellbeing and that mental wellbeing is just as important as physical health and that everyone deserves access to care, support, and resources – no matter where they live or work.

At Cross Border Financial Planning, we believe in supporting mental health through empowering financial planning.  Here are a few ways we can help you and your family manage financial wellbeing:

• Personalised Financial Advice: Clear, professional guidance that takes the stress out of long-term financial planning and retirement.
• Peace of Mind for the Future: From pensions to investments, knowing your future is secure gives you one less thing to worry about.
• Open and Supportive Communication: We foster a non-judgemental space where financial concerns can be discussed openly, without stigma.

This World Mental Health Day let’s remember that mental health and financial wellbeing go hand in hand.  Let’s stand together to promote a culture of care, compassion and connection.  By supporting mental health and providing clarity and support in financial matters, we foster a more inclusive, productive, and healthy society for all, and we can build a healthier, more secure future.

Investments can rise and fall, and you may get back less than what you started with.
