Improve services for youth mental health

Closed 421 signatures

What the petition asks

I'm the founder of a campaign called 'The Mental Youth'. We exist because support and services for young people with mental health problems is simply not good enough. We want there to be support for anyone who needs it, regardless of their age.
Most people with mental health conditions find their symptoms first manifesting before they are 16. Why do we receive such a small portion of the budget for national mental health? We don't get talked about because we haven't had a voice. Help us get heard.
