Sign a petition to improve access to talking therapies on the
NHS

Due to a lack of funding, people who want to see a therapist on
the NHS are forced to wait as long as 18 months for an
appointment. The emotional and financial costs to individuals,
families and society are enormous.

Sign the online petition to urge the government to slash waiting
times and release more funds for psychological therapies so that
people who need help can access it.
