Allow psychiatric service dogs for people with mental disabilities in the UK.
I think there should be more options than counselling for people with mental health. When you go to a counselling appointment they are extremely helpful, but that counsellor isn't then at home or out in public with you when you experience symptoms or behaviours. I think this is an amazing solution.
Some additional information on the benefits of psychiatric service dogs and how it's already used in America.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Assistance dogs are currently provided by charities and other organisations. The law gives special status on to assistance dogs. The type of dog you mention is not excluded.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
