Poor mental health is the root cause to many problems we have in modern society. Our NHS lacks resources to handle the rapid rise in admissions. There are many people in prisons who are incarcerated due to mental health problems. Many ailments today are directly linked to poor mental health yet we are taught nothing in school about how to help ourselves: prevention is better than cure so we should start young.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":51,"created_at":"2026-01-23T15:57:00.883Z","updated_at":"2026-04-30T13:48:40.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-03-09T09:51:12.088Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-01-29T10:38:50.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Keith J Horn","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DfE","name":"Department for Education","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-education"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"Germany","code":"DE","signature_count":1},{"name":"Spain","code":"ES","signature_count":1},{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":49}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Bristol South","ons_code":"E14001135","mp":"Karin Smyth MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Buckingham and Bletchley","ons_code":"E14001141","mp":"Callum Anderson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Derby South","ons_code":"E14001194","mp":"Baggy Shanker MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Gillingham and Rainham","ons_code":"E14001246","mp":"Naushabah Khan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Holborn and St Pancras","ons_code":"E14001290","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Keir Starmer MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Kingswinford and South Staffordshire","ons_code":"E14001316","mp":"Mike Wood MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Leeds East","ons_code":"E14001320","mp":"Richard Burgon MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Newton Abbot","ons_code":"E14001381","mp":"Martin Wrigley MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North West Norfolk","ons_code":"E14001405","mp":"James Wild MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Richmond and Northallerton","ons_code":"E14001444","mp":"Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Rochester and Strood","ons_code":"E14001447","mp":"Lauren Edwards MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Scunthorpe","ons_code":"E14001462","mp":"Sir Nicholas Dakin MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"South Ribble","ons_code":"E14001491","mp":"Mr Paul Foster MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"South Shields","ons_code":"E14001492","mp":"Emma Lewell MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Sutton and Cheam","ons_code":"E14001534","mp":"Luke Taylor MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Taunton and Wellington","ons_code":"E14001540","mp":"Gideon Amos MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Torbay","ons_code":"E14001551","mp":"Steve Darling MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Whitehaven and Workington","ons_code":"E14001583","mp":"Josh MacAlister MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Widnes and Halewood","ons_code":"E14001584","mp":"Derek Twigg MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Wyre Forest","ons_code":"E14001601","mp":"Mark Garnier MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Belfast South and Mid Down","ons_code":"N05000003","mp":"Claire Hanna MP","signature_count":3},{"name":"Lagan Valley","ons_code":"N05000009","mp":"Sorcha Eastwood MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North Down","ons_code":"N05000013","mp":"Alex Easton MP","signature_count":8},{"name":"Strangford","ons_code":"N05000016","mp":"Jim Shannon MP","signature_count":9},{"name":"Glasgow East","ons_code":"S14000084","mp":"John Grady MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bridgend","ons_code":"W07000086","mp":"Chris Elmore MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North East","ons_code":"A","signature_count":2},{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":3},{"name":"Yorkshire and The Humber","ons_code":"D","signature_count":3},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":1},{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":2},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":2},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":2},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":4},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":5},{"name":"Wales","ons_code":"L","signature_count":1},{"name":"Scotland","ons_code":"M","signature_count":1},{"name":"Northern Ireland","ons_code":"N","signature_count":21}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
