Closed Provide funding for 'safe spaces' for people with mental health issues

Closed on

We want the Government to provide dedicated funding for 'safe spaces' for people with diagnosed mental health issues, especially those suffering from depression or suicidal feelings, where they can go when they feel they need to.

I have Bi-Polar, PTSD and Depression. I have my own 'Safe Space'. It's my go to place when my mental health is bad. It's my lifeline. Many times this place has saved me and it's where my family know where I am and can find me. This can save police and NHS time.

My safe space is a car park, but I have to pay for parking and the car park is not always open. This means my 'safe space' is not always available to me. I want the Government to provide funding so local authorities can set up 'safe spaces' in their areas that are always available to people with mental health issues.
