Petition More funding for mental health services in Cornwall!
Cornwall has always had limited mental health services and over the years they seem to be getting cut more and more! People are being failed every day!
More details
The mental health teams are over-stretched and they do not have enough funding for staff so therefore people are waiting a very long time for treatment!
You only have to read through the local papers/watch the local news to see the impact this is having! People attempting suicide and taking their own lives. Families of loved ones in need of support are suffering also because of inadequate treatment options or any treatment for that matter. We need more mental health staff and shorter waiting lists for people in crisis! Let’s get the government to listen and ensure they are helping everyone that needs it, adults and young people!
