Help Children's Mental Health
Help Children's Mental health services and the education we receive upon it. Improve the funding and improve the service not making people wait months or even years. The education around mental health needs to be more indepth and teachers and peers need training in how to deal with it properly.
Why is this important?
This is important for the fact children all over the country up to the age of 18 are being left to themselves to deal with a mental health condition. Having to wait months or even years to be seen for a review or a meeting. People aged 16-18 being left because they don't know what to do with them. With teachers not seeing that a child is self harming and trying to kill themselves which could help prevent anything drastic happening. The fact that mental health is still a taboo and the answer you get from a doctor when you speak up is it's exams or teenage angst is not professional in the slightest and is not right. This is the next generation now and we need to help them before its too late some funding for children's health services was cut 90% this is not okay.
