Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about existing Government action regarding mental health, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Increase funding for NHS mental health services: Increase funding for NHS mental health services

Fund a 24-hour NHS mental health helpline and treatment: Fund a 24-hour NHS mental health helpline and treatment

If you want the Government to take an action different to the above petitions, you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
