For the third year in a row, Anne Marie Chaired a meeting of the Teignbridge Citizens Advice Bureau about topical issues some people in the local area are facing. This year’s theme was the link between mental health and debt.
Anne Marie made the point that indebtedness can lead to mental health problems which in turn has the potential to lead to further debt, thus making the problem spiral out of control. With mental health issues on the increase, 1 in 4 people are expected to have some sort of mental health issue during their lifetime. Anne Marie holds regular surgeries and face to face meetings around the Newton Abbot constituency and highlighted the fact that she is seeing more and more constituents who suffer from mental health problems.
