Key messaging
This work bases its communications on the key messages outlined in the document below. This messaging can be used to create content and resources (for example on a website or social media) to engage with different audiences.
The document has been created to assist with consistency of mental health messaging around the financial impact of COVID-19. It will assist those who are creating public-facing information, but it is not intended to be a document for the public.
