Increase funding for adult mental health services.

Closed 34 signatures

What the petition asks

A lot of vulnerable people are being turned away from adult mental health services this makes it difficult for them to have consistent support, access certain therapies and see a physiatrist.
The outcome of this has led to people dying or getting much worse. There is not enough money. Funding needs to increase so that mental health services are easier to access.
