Improve UK Mental Health services (CAMHS)

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

After attending CAMHS for the past 4 years, there seems to be no hope left on recieving help. Alot of young people around the UK are struggling with mental health issues and state that after attending CAMHS, they have came out feeling the same. We want improvements for mental health in the UK.
CAMHS usually offer us mediciation and CBT but is usually considered a waste of time by most patients. Many patients are being discharged for no reason or for missing a single appointment. We are recieving useless help and want massive improvements on the waiting list, services, CBT and Medication. Mental health is not a joke, many children and teenagers are in serious need of help. Fix CAMHS now!
