What the petition asks
Open pop up mental health centres that are run by mental health first aid trained individuals, that can give advice and guidance and avoid the year long waiting list.
The national suicide rate is at an all time high and the mental health teams are struggling, this plan would ease the strain and make support more accessible.
It will also help break the stigma around the topic and with covid this year we will have a increase in people seeking mental health support.
