This
petition was submitted by Dr Jen Daffin having collected a total of 255
signatures.
Text of Petition:
The Mind over Matter
report was the result of a wide-ranging enquiry into emotional and health. It
identifies an urgent need to invest in preventative, whole system and early
intervention services.
Mental health services are
in desperate need for reform and modernisation. The removal of £7 million from
this fund will stall this change.
Additional Information:
In 2018, 93 Psychologists, Therapists, Counsellors
and people who use mental health services in Wales signed a letter asking Welsh
Government to implement the changes the Mind over Matter report recommended - http://www.psychchange.org/support-the-mind-over-matter-report.html
The global pandemic has affected everyone. Many of
us have experienced and will continue to experience distress due to COVID-19.
However, those also facing isolation, job insecurity, food poverty, or living
in an abusive or stressful household will be significantly more impacted.
The early years of life are vital, but children
live in circumstances that they are powerless to change. They cannot think
their way out of their problems, and they are dependent on the adults and the
community around them.
The mental health transformational fund is also
known as the Mental Health Services Improvement Fund (MHSIF). The reference to
the mental health transformational fund in this petition refers to that same
fund, the MHSIF.
