Petition starts here:

We are a year 13 Social studies group, as part of our internal assessment we are presenting a petition, we are aiming to direct funding towards lowering the costs of therapy, assessment of your mental state, improve mental health helplines, and increase mental health awareness nation wide. We believe that currently, services such as therapy are too expensive for the vast majority of individuals, denying many from accessing the help they need. The quality of our helplines are also in need of a change as poor experiences from individuals that have tried to use the availble helplines, and the increase in funding towards these services could provide real and impactful results.

___________________________________________________________________

Our goal is to strive to make a difference in how our mental health services work by directing funding to the mental health sector. To achieve that goal, we need to start small, and garner like-minded individuals to support our vision and show the government that our voices count. By signing this petition, you show your support for our cause and help push for a change that would benefit ourselves, our friends, and our families.

The stories shared in the comments prove that the current costs of therapy are simply unsustainable for too many people. We are compiling these accounts to present directly to the local representatives.

The momentum is incredible. This shows just how many people see the need for affordable mental health support.

FINALLY. The helplines are a joke right now. They put you on hold for forever or just dont help at all. We need real funding for this.

Therapy is way to expensive. I cant afford help and its not fair that only rich people can get better.
