Thank you for signing our petition to mandate Mental Health First Aiders in workplaces. Your support means the world and brings us one step closer to making this crucial change a reality. But we need your help to push this even further.

The mental health crisis in the UK continues to take lives every single day. Between May 2023 and July 2024, 5,388 suspected suicides were reported in England alone. That’s 15 lives lost each day—lives that might have been saved with the right support at the right time.

By mandating Mental Health First Aiders in workplaces, we can provide immediate support, reduce stigma, and save lives. The evidence is clear: for every £1 invested in workplace mental health interventions, there is an average return of £5. This is not just a moral obligation—it’s a practical, life-saving solution.

Here’s how you can help:

Share the petition – Spread the word to your friends, family, and colleagues. The more signatures we gather, the louder our voice becomes.

Promote on social media – A simple post, tweet, or story can make a huge impact.

Encourage others to take action – Ask your workplace, community, or influential figures to support this movement.

This isn’t just about policy—it’s about people. Behind every statistic is a real person who deserves care, support, and hope. By working together, we can make sure no one feels alone in their darkest moments.

Please, take a moment today to share this petition and encourage others to sign. Let’s make real change happen before more lives are lost.

Thank you for standing with us.

Best regards,
Ben
