Financial Psychology and Mental Health

"Woe to every .....,      who amasses wealth and considers it a provision i.e. layeth by it, thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever! By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into that which breaks to pieces, and what can make you know what the Crusher is?....... (Quran 104 verse 1-4)

 And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allah, We would have opened upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied [the messengers], so We seized them for what they were earning." (Quran 7 verse 96)

"And whoever is mindful of Allah, He will make a way out for them, and provide for them from sources they could never imagine. And whoever puts their trust in Allah, then He ˹alone˺ is sufficient for them. Certainly Allah achieves His purpose, verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion." (Quran 65 verse 2-3)" 

"Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest" (Quran 13 verse 28)

Since about 50% of mental health distresses are associated with high economic burdens (Doran & Kinchin, 2017), Servitude Centre brings a unique, holistic perspective to mental health, informed by our sound background in social and economic development.  We at Servitude Centre use our deep knowledge of ethical finance in solving associated mental health issues. Our understanding of Economics and Finance means an understanding of the socio-economic drivers of health inequalities, poverty which often intersect with mental health distresses. This provides a lens for understanding the structural and socio-economic dimensions of mental health problems. In other words, at Servitude Centre, we are equipped with a unique analytical lens to understand the socio-economic and systemic factors that often underpin mental health distresses
