How many times do we have to ask for help before someone listens

How many times do we have to ask for help before someone listens — 10 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

We want the government to introduce a legally enforceable "No wrong door" standard for mental health care across the UK, so that nobody who asks for help feels abandoned, repeatedly passed between services or is turned away without the appropriate support.

Additional details

Set and enforce maximum waiting times for mental health assessments and treatments end the cycle of being passed from service to service what this means is that services must work together so that people are not repeatedly told "you are in the wrong place" and left to start help and support all over again End the "too well for us" gap meaning that nobody should be denied support simply because they do not fit into a service's eligibility criteria
