Increase funding for mental health facilities during the pandemic

What the petition asks
It would be beneficial for everyone if we had suitable mental health facilities for everyone during the pandemic. Suicide cases have risen by more than 50% since March 2020. If we had more accessible services across the board to deal with every kind of mental health problem it would improve lives.
We are losing lives due to Covid-19 but people are also taking their own lives because they struggling to cope with being out of work and not being able to make ends meet.
If funding is increased services can expand their range and meet more people's needs.
If this happens more lives will be saved!
