Fund more staff training and better facilities in psychiatric hospitals

Petition Details

We want the government to increase funding to hire and train qualified professionals who understand mental health and their side effects and can deal with difficult situations in the correct manner.

Additional Information

Having witnessed first hand the poor treatment and neglect of mental health patients, I urge the government to increase funding for mental health services. This could ensure proper facilities in mental health units, including better bed and shower facilities. Additionally, I think patients should have access to more activities that keep them engaged and stimulated, rather than being told to stay in their rooms and sleep when they are unable to.
