Executive Summary
This proposal aims to address the intersection of poverty and mental health, recognizing the significant but often overlooked impact poverty has on mental well-being. Poverty can exacerbate mental health challenges through stress, limited access to healthcare, and social stigma, creating a cycle that perpetuates both conditions.
By investigating this critical issue, the study seeks to identify effective interventions, policy recommendations, and community-based strategies to mitigate the mental health impacts of poverty. The research will involve comprehensive literature reviews, case studies, stakeholder consultations, and data analysis to provide actionable insights for addressing this hidden crisis.
Introduction
Poverty and mental health are interconnected issues that mutually influence and exacerbate each other. Individuals living in poverty often face increased stressors, lack of access to mental health services, and social isolation, all of which contribute to poor mental health outcomes.
This proposal outlines a study to explore the complex relationship between poverty and mental health, aiming to highlight effective interventions and policies that can improve mental health outcomes for marginalized populations.
