Please dont get me wrong you guys are great on here but I need something i can refer my brother to thats a bit more 'private' and specific. He is also not a member on here.
I have personally seen my brother become more and more broken after his relationship break down and he admitted his debt issues are having a mental impact now and played a major factor in the break up. I really want to help him.
I know there are organisations that specialise in each area but wonder if there are any that bring the two together?
Thank you

What have you tried?
A Google brought up the main MIND charity and finance section
https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/tips-for-everyday-living/money-and-mental-health/money-and-mental-health/
but I'm guessing this isn't what you need? It also brought up the government step change.
Can you be more specific and we could maybe suggest something does he need help to address the break up, the finance or something else? Would he like face to face or online. Has he spoken to doctor for referral services?Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....2 -
Stepchange used to have a number specifically for people with mental health issues. I accessed it via their general number, if you want to call them and ask. They were supporting a gentleman in hospital under section to sort out his debts.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.2 -
Thank you. He is coming over for lunch and spending the day with us so I will probe a bit further. When we spoke yesterday he did seem to comment more on the debt side and felt it was causing anxiety:j0

I'd suggest posting on the 'debt free wannabe' part of the forum. Lots of good advice available there.0
