Our work
Coping with the cost-of-living crisis
Support from The Lord Mayor’s Appeal has enabled MQ Mental Health Research to conduct timely new research to help the nation better respond to the mental health issues arising from the cost-of-living crisis. This research outlines actionable, compassionate, and evidence-based recommendations for how different sectors across society can respond to the crisis and provide effective solutions to support people’s mental health.
MQ Mental Health Research is the only charity exclusively investing in scientific research into the causes, treatment, and prevention of mental illness. Through GALENOS – a resource making it easier for everyone including patients, funders and researchers to access scientific literature about anxiety, depression and psychosis - The Lord Mayor’s Appeal is helping to support the best and brightest researchers across the globe as they work to find the answers we need to transform the face of mental health, from developing new evidence-based treatments to identifying the factors that put people at risk.
