The first bonds will be issued as a way of funding employment services for people with mental-health conditions.
The Association of Psychotherapists has teamed up with the campaigning movement ActionStation to stop what it calls an experimental approach to mental-health funding.
The petition also called for more government funding for mental-health treatment and support.
