Increase funding in the mental health recovery plan - particularly for the young

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Increase the funding to ensure all young people have access to mental health support.
Improve the current support by further funding to ensure all those with mental health issues have access to support.
Increase funding so further sufferers can have access to a psychiatrist.

All individuals in the UK should have access to mental health support particularly young people as a possible prevention is better than a cure. Mental health workers and psychiatrists should be involved in the planning of support in government. The current support is not enough and difficult to access.
