Legal and Financial
Having support while navigating unexpected or difficult life circumstances is crucial to every person’s mental wellbeing. It has been found that individuals experiencing high financial worries have more pronounced psychological distress (Ryu & Fan, 2023) and often, those going through legal processes feel mentally fatigued by complicated and drawn-out proceedings. It is important that individuals experiencing these situations are provided with support in order to maintain their quality of life.
