A debt relief initiative designed to safeguard individuals facing problem debt while undergoing mental health crisis treatment.
What is Mental Health Crisis Breathing Space?
Mental Health Crisis Breathing Space (MHCBS) is a debt relief initiative, designed to safeguard individuals living in England and Wales who are facing problem debt while undergoing mental health crisis treatment. It works by halting enforcement action from creditors and freezing interest and charges.
The protections extend for 30 days following the end of mental health crisis treatment. This allows individuals to get help from a debt adviser in the period after overcoming a mental health crisis.
