What the petition asks
Children's mental health is reaching crisis point and families are not receiving the support they need due to long waiting lists and restrictive criteria to access CAMHS. More needs to be done, children as young as 7 are saying they no longer want to live but are being put onto other waiting lists!
Families are in despair at not being able to get help for their children's well being! Parent's are screaming out for help just to be met with red tape, impossible criteria and long waiting lists. Funding is needed urgently to help families already struggling and prevent younger children going through the same thing!
