What the petition asks
Mental Health is a significant issue in the UK. Around 25% of all UK citizens experience mental illness, and almost a third of children in education will experience it. It is a silent issue that many feel embarrassed to discuss. Our aim is to raise support for those who experience mental illness.
We (National Citizen Service) are currently aiming to work in association with a charity called 'Mind' who are currently supporting around 375,000 people, which is drastically less than the 25% that come forward regarding their mental illness.
