Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I’ve been volunteering at a youth club for nearly 7 years now helping children with mental health and behavioural issues but now the council and the government are taking away early help workers youth clubs and child centres meaning all mental health support is being taken away from children

The government know and Kent
County council know that there is an epidemic with children’s and adolescence mental health, and now they are stopping mental health support. Without The youth club I wouldn’t be where I am today and I’m absolutely upset that this is been taken away from me and everyone around me and in the next few weeks
