Rejected petition Open mental health drop in centre's
Open pop up mental health centres that are run by mental health first aid trained individuals, that can give advice and guidance and avoid the year long waiting list.
More details
The national suicide rate is at an all time high and the mental health teams are struggling, this plan would ease the strain and make support more accessible.
It will also help break the stigma around the topic and with covid this year we will have a increase in people seeking mental health support.

Why was this petition rejected?
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.
You may wish to sign some of these petitions:
Review and improve support for people with mental health conditions: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/330968
Increase funding for crisis and acute mental health services: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/559871
The Government is not directly responsible for the provision of mental health support services, these are a matter for individual NHS trusts and local authorities, but we think the requests made by the above petitions would achieve a similar outcome to what you have requested.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
