Great news! 1,000 signatures to go, and Martin Freeman, star of The Office, is supporting our petition. He says, “Mental health doesn’t have to be a taboo issue. We could all speak out and say that the 1 in 4 people who experience mental health problems deserve respect and decent treatment. That’s why I’ve signed Rethink’s petition and hope you will too.”

Do you care about mental illness? Do you want the next government to care too? Sign our petition and we will deliver it to the government after the General Election.
We, the undersigned, believe that it is wrong that in 2010 people with mental illnesses like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are STILL…
• Missing out on basic treatments like psychological therapy and basic information
• Facing discrimination in everyday life from colleagues, neighbours and friends
• Too often locked up in prison without any healthcare.
So we want:
• Everyone affected by mental illness to be able to access decent treatment, including psychological therapy and family support, regardless of where they live or how much they earn
• Public attitudes to mental illness to be changed through a government-funded campaign
• Prisoners with mental illnesses to be in NHS care.
We are calling for the next government to make this a reality! We need thousands of people to demand change by signing our petition. Complete the form below to agree with the above statement and say ‘I care about mental illness, and want a government that cares too.
