Ireland Mental Health in Children system failings

Updates

June 21, 2018

I have spent my week reading the heartbreaking stories you are leaving in the comments about your own children. It is clear that my family is not the only one feeling abandoned by a system that refuses to recognize the urgency of this crisis.

June 21, 2018

Seeing this kind of momentum feels like a weight finally shifting after watching my own family struggle in the dark for so long. Your willingness to stand behind this issue gives me real hope that the system will finally have to acknowledge these children.

Its a absolute joke. No one joining up the dots. Not enough clinician and clinicians with out children mental health qualification.

My own son has been waiting over a year for an assessment. The system is completely broken and they are just leaving families to struggle alone. Disgraceful.
