💛 Over 250 signatures in just a few days. Thank you. 💛

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has taken the time to sign and share this petition.

When I started this, I had no idea how many people across West Sussex would recognise the issue. Reaching over 250 signatures in such a short time shows how many families care about improving support for children struggling with severe anxiety and selective mutism.

The messages and stories people have been sharing are incredibly moving. It’s clear that many families feel they are navigating this alone, without clear support pathways.

If you’ve already signed and would like to help the petition grow, one of the most powerful things you can do is share it in local Facebook groups, school parent chats, or community pages across West Sussex. That’s how more families find it and realise they are not the only ones experiencing this.

If it helps, you’re very welcome to copy and paste this message when sharing:

"I'm sharing this petition calling for better support pathways for children with severe anxiety and selective mutism in West Sussex. In just a few days over 250 people have signed. If you believe children facing this deserve better support, please consider signing or sharing."

Thank you again for helping bring attention to something that affects more children and families than many people realise.
