Emergency relief support can assist families in cost-of-living crisis and other adverse conditions such as income loss. It can include food, money, housing, healthcare, and other support services.
Here’s an example:
Mrs Nawabi, 34, comes to her GP feeling anxious because she lost her job last week. She’s a single mother with three young children.
In cases like this, the children’s health and wellbeing may be supported through emergency relief. This support will also help manage Mrs Nawabi’s anxiety by reducing her stressors.
