Abstract
Poverty-related stress happens when struggles to meet basic needs cause ongoing mental and emotional strain.
Poverty-related stress stems from 3 key triggers: noise disturbance, home dysfunction, and financial distress.
The convergence of these stressors negatively impacts mental health, fueling anxiety, depression, and despair.
Lifting families out of poverty requires multilayered efforts addressing this complex web of stressors.
