Increase funding and support systems for mental health services and education
Improve access to mental health services

Focus on early intervention and prevention
Enhance support for vulnerable populations
Collaborate with community organizations
Improve coordination between health sectors
Evaluate/reform existing legislation
The pandemic, cost-of-living crisis, wage stagnation and underfunding of mental health (MH) services has created the worsening conditions for MH sufferers up and down the country.
An increase in funding for early intervention and prevention will decrease the strain and cost of this crisis on the NHS and MH charities at a later stage.
Failure to address these issues early on has the potential for increases in crime, addiction, obesity etc which cost the gov't and NHS more in the long term.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
The Government is not directly responsible for the delivery of mental health support services, which are a matter for the NHS and other relevant organisations, but we have already published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
Increase funding for all mental health services: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/634345
We could accept a petition calling for the Government to review the Mental Health Act, if that's something you want to happen.
