MAKE MENTAL HEALTH A PRIORITY ON THE NHS

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

We need to improve mental health services by 10000%
In the past two weeks I’ve sadly heard of the suicide of two seemingly healthy men. With loving and caring families. Who would give everything for them. These men felt they had nowhere to go. My petition is to reduce suicide altogether. Suicide in the community. Suicide in prison. Suicide everywhere. If a person feels so bad that they have to take their own life they have been failed massively. The government needs to take more responsibility for this epidemic. And do it swiftly. Please everyone back me on this. I’m tired of the loss and the heartache xx
