I want the government to fund CAMHS, to support, teenage mental health

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Mental health is a real issue for young people. particularly in lockdown, and CAHMS is really effective, however their funding has been reduced. So we would like the government to provide more funding.
I researched this particular issue, and found that 20% of adolescents could experience mental health issues, 50% of mental health problems are established fro the age 14. So i feel very strongly to help those that need and should get the best support, ad CAHMS can provide this, if they had the staff and facilities.
