I've been through this system myself many times and it's never been massively successful so more funding would help with better treatment and more availability for suffering teens. So yeah it's a very good thing to be doing

I worked in the looked after children sector for over a decade and I'm appalled by the lack of mental health provision available to our younger generation. I recently started to work in the afternoon mental health sector and have seen first hand what happens when early intervention isn't effective. It has been proven that e eryones pound spent to tackle emotional issues in young people, saves £6 in adulthood, so austerity excuses don't quite wash. Let's take a leaf from the practises in scansanaviannations and make children and their metal health a priority. To give them a chance at a better future and our society chance of success

Helping children now might help and stop them develop in to a very messed up adult

More help and support should be available to young people and without the long waiting lists too.

I want to support this because a young person getting support from the mental health team who turn 16 and 17 still need the support they aren't cured from Mental health issues just because they have had a birthday

This is so important they kick you out of the service with no support like you mental health has change cause u hit a birthday

I strongly support the good intention of this petition.
