Housing, homelessness and mental health
Struggling with housing or homelessness can affect your mental health. Feeling unsafe or insecure at home can impact your wellbeing, and mental health challenges can make housing issues harder to manage.
We’ve gathered resources on housing and homelessness, including support links, factsheets, videos, podcasts, and exercises to help you understand your rights and explore your options.
We’d love to hear what resources have been helpful for you. If you have any suggestions for our self-help pages, please email us at ithrive@health-in-mind.org.uk
