The Income Protection Task Force (IPTF) and the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter (MIMHC) have agreed a collaboration to help support mortgage and protection advisers.
The collaboration sees the IPTF sign up to the MIMHC, reinforcing its commitment to mental health advocacy.
In turn, the MIMHC will join the IPTF as affiliates, aligning their efforts to advance the importance of income protection and mental health support.
The respective bodies added they will work towards creating a robust support system for mortgage and protection advisers, championing initiatives that prioritise their overall health and security.
Vicky Churcher, chairwoman of the IPTF, (pictured) said: “We are thrilled to join forces with MIMHC.
“This partnership underscores our shared dedication to the wellbeing of advisers, ensuring they have the necessary mental health support.
Jason Berry, MIMHC co-founder and group sales director at Crystal Specialist Finance, said: “Collaborating with the IPTF allows us to extend our reach and impact, encouraging a healthier, more resilient industry workforce.”
Matt Martin, chairman of MIMHC’s Signatory Steering Group and head of national accounts at Virgin Money, added: “Encouraging conversation and educating advisers so they know where to turn for support is crucial. This partnership helps deliver.”
