Women have tackled the stresses of extended lockdowns, juggling parenting and caring responsibilities with working from home. Those who are self-employed or work in the retail and hospitality sectors have felt the burden of supporting families on reduced incomes. Over a quarter of women surveyed (28%) admitted that their finances have worsened over the last three months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe impact of national lockdowns and social distancing has affected the health of millions, with nearly one in three (31%) feeling lonely and isolated. These concerns are taking its toll on the public and we should be doing more collectively to look after our mental health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ABI Mental Health Standards reflects an industry-wide effort to ensure that applicants get the right cover that they need. We must continue to provide our most vulnerable customers with increased access to insurance and support, ensuring that the right mix of services are accessible to women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In April, the ABI launched a CII accredited<a title=\"ABI e-learning module on mental health\" href=\"http:\/\/www.abi.org.uk\/mental-health-training\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-di-id=\"di-id-bf617668-de1c2e7f\">\u00a0e-learning module on mental health<\/a>\u00a0in collaboration with Rightsteps to improve knowledge and understanding within the insurance industry.<\/p>\n<div>LV= provides a range of services for members including:<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>LV= Doctor Services<\/strong>\u00a0(included as standard on all protection policies) gives access to six expert medical services, all available through a convenient app including: \u2014 Remote GP 24\/7 \u2013 appointments around the clock for every day health concerns through to serious conditions.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Remote Psychological Services is also included, giving LV= members access to remote sessions with a qualified professional via the app. They can help on a range of issues such as depression, anxiety and other mental health disorders.
