What the petition asks
I want to support children going through hard times. I want it to be treated as severe as an A&E medical emergency.
There needs to be staff employed to deal with this on a daily basis.
Children's mental health is an increasing issue where young people aren't even aware of what they are suffering with, struggle to talk to parents and need a trained professional to help diagnose, treat, support and take action within schools.
We need young peoples’ voices to be heard, loud and strong.
