Teenagers and children all over the UK are suffering because they don't have any help or enough help. One of the main causes of death in teens is suicide. Without any proper help, young people suffering from mental health issues, turn to self-harm and suicide. Neurodivergent people are going undiagnosed causing them to develop anxiety, depression, and even trauma responses. 

If nothing changes, the suicide rates in children will continue to rise. Families will be torn apart. 

With more funding going into CAMHS (children and adolescent mental health service) they can offer shorter wait times, more staff to allow more people to get therapy, enough money to pay for a psychiatrist in every area, they can build more child inpatient facilities that will actually help rather than hinder, better qualified staff, a crisis team that's available all the time to anyone/anywhere, assessments to diagnose any disorders, therapy dogs, drop in clinics. With all of these, young people will get better help, and not have to turn to suicide. 

Acting now can save lives as soon as possible. I don't think we should wait any longer, we have the right to make our children and teenagers happy and safe. We have the opportunity to save lives.

Sign this petition that the government give more funding to CAMHS, to save lives.
