Petition Details

Reform the Mental Health Act to restrict detention powers

Additional Information

1. People can't be forcibly detained for their mental health.

2. People can only be detained voluntarily for a maximum of a week whilst help in the community is arranged.

I'm concerned about the wellbeing of people being held due to their mental health involuntarily or for long periods of time.
