This Petition is for Everyone that has every been Depressed; Have Anxiety; Bipolar; PTSD or any other mental illness. Including Depression following a death of a loved one; after pregnancy; or even PPMS. Sign this to make America recognize that you need more than 12 weeks of time off when you have a sick child or cancer yourself. We need Washington D.C. and employers to know that unfortunate things happen and illness cost money. Lets make May a signal that we need the Family Medical Health Leave Act to be paid leave and more than 3 days for a death in the family.
Why is this important?
Mental Health Awareness Month was started by MHA Mental Health America which is the oldest organization for Mental Health. Started in 1928 by a consumer finding that it was difficult and no laws to help the Mentally ILL. Join us to say that everyone is depressed once in a while and that the FMLA of 12 weeks NON-Paid leave is not reasonable when Illness causes money. Everyone with ill children or family members receive no pay for these 12 weeks
