Story

NABS' latest research shows that 71% of us still don’t feel enough is being done about mental health across the industry & a worrying 35% believe they wouldn’t feel comfortable speaking up about their own mental health.

In 2023:

- NABS saw a sustained increase in calls in recent years, with a 13% hike year-on-year following a 53% increase the year before, representing 4,500 calls in 2023

- Emotional support remains the top reason that people call NABS, at 1/3 calls; calls around mental health represent 1 in 5

- Since 2021, demand for grants and therapy has doubled, with one-third more people supported in 2023 than 2022 as more people seek out proactive help for their mental and financial wellbeing

Every penny raised goes back into advancing the mental wellness of our community
