Spread awareness about Mental Health. It's a bigger killer than cancer.

Closed 79 signatures

What the petition asks

1in4 people in the UK suffer from Mental Health. There's a stigma attached which needs to be banished so people can easily and proudly seek the help needed. Campaigns need to be set up such as tv/radio adverts like you see/hear daily about other illnesses as this ones the biggest killer.




For more information on facts/figures, where to seek help and advice follow the link below to my post.
Together we need to beat the stigma and make the UK realise this is something that should be talked about daily. In schools, in the workplace etc. Due to the stigma people are not getting the help needed and funds are being cut to do with mental health.
It is not anything to be ashamed of, its an illness.
