Petition Increase funding for mental health and the creation of a mental health minister.

We are a small group of college students who have all had experience with mental health whether it be personal, family or friends. We decided that we wanted something to change as everyone in the country has had experience with mental health in one way or another. Please support our petition.

More details

We want there to be a mental health minister for the UK like in Scotland, to increase the £12.2 billion being spent on mental health in 2019 to £15 billion in 2020. To open centres for people to receive professional help and to encourage people to become psychologists.
