    petition to help every child/young person with mental health conditions

     
    HI my name is Janice hall I have a 13 yr old son who suffers post traumatic stress disorder, depression, panic and anxiety.
    He has self harmed twice and just recently I  was faced to find a suicide note from my son.
    Children's mental health is a very close subject to my heart, it is disgusting that out of hours there's no emergency service for these children/young people.
    On the 1st of March my friends son who was just 20 yrs old, hung himself  he to suffered with depression but as far as I'm concerned was just left to get on with it.
    I've had to fight anyone and everyone for my son to get help, but there's not enough help available at all.
    If I had a cpn I could phone them 24 hrs a day and they would be there. Where as if my son or other peoples children etc needed help there's no available.
    Surely children/young people are just as important as adults?
    I will do whatever it takes to get childhood mental health talked about, understood and help available at all times.
     I only hope the bill is changed in favour of these children/ young people to many have taken there own lives already.
    I've started a petition online my link is  .......
     
    I need everyone's help to get my petition signed by as many people has I can.
    I want help available 24 hrs a day 7 days a week for every child/young person who has any mental health issue illness etc in the whole of England and Wales.
    Also for mental health to be spoke about in school's like sex education is, its just as important and it needs to be understood.
    PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME TO HELP MY SON AND EVERY OTHER CHILD/YOUNG PERSON THAT NEEDS AND DESERVES ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET FOR THEM.

    Hiya Janice, hop you doing okay, I agreee with what you said, There should be help out there foe each person as an individual, coz each person is different, I have suffered from mental health problems for 11 years, mine started in childhood, I was pushes from from professional to another, without success, and Im back in therapy now, It seems never ending but keep trying for your son and others x

    have you thought about going on the jeremy kyle show to talk about your son and to teach people more aobut choldren's mental health ussies.

     

    it seems to me that the reason why there is no help out there for kids like your son is because people are not aware of how to help, and the NHS, in my opinion, are terrible because they say that they can't help people like your son because of money constraints.
