Improve access to talking therapies on the NHS
There’s a campaign being run in the UK right now to improve access to talking therapies (like counselling, psychologists etc.). At the moment, waiting lists for NHS funded help can be up to 18 months. This is just not acceptable.
The government is holding a funding review very shortly - so a group of UK charities (including the Mental Health Foundation, Mind, and the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health) have organised an online petition asking for more funding to be made available for this area.
If you’re a UK resident then please sign it now at www.weneedtotalk.org.uk/petition.asp
Update - This petition has now been presented to the government.
