More funding and support for children with mental health problems.

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

More funding for children with mental health problems. Giving teenagers more activities to do at a cheaper rate or for free. Stronger bullying policy at school involving the police.
I find the approaches towards children mental health should be at a higher standards than what it is. These children are our future and now need even more support than before. I want to change the system I was once placed into and make it change for the better.
