What the petition asks
We want the Government to provide funding for mental wellbeing staff for schools and colleges to help identify and provide early intervention for mental health issues faced by children.
We believe this is essential as mental health conditions have become more common among children and young people and waiting times for CAHMS increasing. New mental wellbeing staff could help reduce referrals by identifying and providing early intervention.
