It's Not Your Fault
If your family is struggling with money, that's not something you caused — and it's not something you should have to fix. But it can still affect how you feel, how you sleep, and how you cope at school. You're allowed to feel stressed about it.
How Poverty Affects Mental Health
You're Not Alone in This
Around 4.2 million children in the UK are living in poverty. That's nearly a third of all children. You might not see it because people don't always talk about it — but it's far more common than you think.
