PEOPLE worried about the impact of money problems on their mental health can use a new online tool to better understand how to deal with the issues.

The tool developed by NHS Choices and the Money Advice Service has been launched as part of this week’s Mental Health Awareness Week and provides a range of resources for those feeling anxious about their finances.

Recent research has found money worries are one of the most common causes of anxiety and other mental health issues.
