Mental Health Support for 18+

Allow 18+ to attend CAHMS for mental health support.

Why is this important?

There is limited support for young people, 18+, who have mental health issues in the UK. I care about this issue so much as I've seen it effect others around me and also myself. I myself benefit from CAHMS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) as it gives me a place to go and share my problems in a controlled, calm and comfortable environment. Losing this service would have a very negative impact on my life as well as others as 18 is not the age where people find closure to the problems they have experienced in their life involving mental health. 18 is when people leave school and are released into work. People become adults and that brings along with it stress, this stress is why people 18+ need CAHMS as they don't know how to cope. This can lead to suicidal thoughts and also suicidal actions. Please sign this petition and lets help young people get the support they need! You could be saving a life!
