The Covid-19 pandemic has seen more people taking the time to address their mental health, according to one Cornish scheme. The Mental Health Employment Needs and Debt advice scheme was set up back in late December 2020 and has seen around 40 referrals so far with around five to ten coming in each week. The scheme was set up to help people who have found themselves struggling with their mental health as well as debt or employment-related issues and is being funded by Public health Cornwall and Cornwall Council. Matt Bennett, who is project manager at the Pentreath Mental Health Advisors organisation, believes that the current coronavirus pandemic has made more people start to address their mental health issues.
