The government to give more money to services such as counselling to help people going through mental health problems

Increase funding for NHS counsellors and review current referral pathways
I want referral pathways from GPs for mental health issues to be reviewed, and improved. There is a need for a robust recruitment drive for actual counsellors and specialists in the NHS, and for better observance of the principle that mental health should be treated like physical health.
Increase funding for PMDD, PME and menopause screening in mental health services
Increase funding to help ensure menstrual and menopausal health is included in mental health assessments, including crisis, talking therapies, specialist care & Mental Health Act assessments
Provide funding so every school can have a full-time school counsellor
We call on the government to require every school to have a school counsellor. Many young people face multiple mental health challenges in school and do not have someone to get help from. This must be changed. Children must not have to suffer in silence anymore.
Subsidise cost of private therapy for those on NHS mental health waiting lists
As highlighted by some UK charities/organisations, the mental health system is facing severe challenges. Some specialist services via the NHS have waiting times of 6 months and more. This is far too long to wait for those in a crisis.
Increase funding for learning support in schools
Teachers and children need Teacher Assistants and Learning Support Assistants. We believe without vital help and support; teaching and education may suffer, which could have a detrimental effect on all children - not just the children with additional needs.
