Improve awareness of mental health conditions and support for sufferers

Closed 47 signatures

What the petition asks

Mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, can be very hard to talk about, and seek help for. It can be hard to express how you feel to a doctor, and even family member/friend. I want the Government to do more to increase awareness of mental health conditions, and support for sufferers.
A lot of people suffer in silence. There is not enough awareness of mental health conditions, or support to help people with mental health conditions.

We need the Government to fund increased awareness of mental health conditions, and improve support for sufferers, both through the NHS and local support groups and activities, and support for employers.
