Petition Action

A mandated Government led Primary Prevention strategy for mental health.

Petition Details

The government needs to introduce a Primary Prevention strategy for mental health that is mandated in law in the same way that treatment and crisis interventions are.

Additional Information

Today, 1 in 6 school aged children have a mental health problem, an alarming rise from 1 in 10 in 2017, yet 70% of children and adolescents who experience mental health problems have not had appropriate interventions at a sufficiently early age, resulting in high numbers of young people entering higher and further education with unresolved and unmet mental health needs, placing them at greater risk of death. University Student suicides have risen by 75% since 2015.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

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

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure what you mean by Primary Prevention Strategy.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, or you might like to sign this petition
