We want 16-18 year olds to have access to full confidentiality in counseling.

As of now, if you are under eighteen years of age your parents and guardians have access to everything said during a counseling session. We seek to change this law so that, young people can open up more and maybe experience full confidentiality.

We feel this is an issue as people seeking this support will feel as if they cannot fully open up due to the repercussions of their parents and guardians finding out all the discussed information. others.
 
57% of people in Ireland would not want others to know about their mental health problem.
28% of people would delay seeking professional help in fear of others finding out. 

With these conclusion, we ask you to please sign our petition!!
