Petition Funding help for clients attending private practice for mental health issues

More details

NICE guidance states that individuals struggling with mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression etc benefit from Counselling/Psychotherapy. Early interventions and home treatment for mental health problems can reduce hospital admissions, shorten hospital stays and require fewer high-cost intensive interventions. This can potentially result in a saving of up to £38 million per year.
