Financial strain is stressful for anyone.
It can often lead to feelings of isolation and even depression.
It is not uncommon for those facing the prospect of insolvency to experience varying degrees of mental illness as a result. And, less common but not rare, mental health problems can lead to insolvency.
We at Sheridans are not qualified in this field and are unable to provide counselling or advice. However, our principal Jennifer Low is an accredited Mental Health First Aider (Counting on U program – Deakin University).
