In the UK, data has indicated a significant increase in the number of employed people being referred to crisis support services. This uptick in crisis support is partially due to the stress working individuals are experiencing due to continuously rising inflation and high costs of living in the UK. Households are struggling to afford the cost of energy bills and government intervention has not done enough to relieve the economic pressures. As a result, charities like Citizens Advice that have been providing support services for workers expect the number of clients to continue to rise unless the UK government commits to improving benefits.
