Westmorland and Lonsdale MP Tim Farron will present a petition to Parliament, calling for the Government to invest in mental health care for young people in Cumbria.
The petition urges the Government to give Cumbria the money it needs to keep young people mentally healthy and support those who are experiencing mental health problems.
Mr Farron said: "Preventative mental health care is massively important in supporting our young people in the early stages of mental health problems, so that those problems don't become so severe.
“It’s frankly an insult to every single young person in our county that just 75p is spent on giving them that vital care.
“They deserve better and we’ll keep demanding better for them until the Government start listening to their needs.”
