Provide better mental health services for 17 year olds

Petition Details

At the age of 17 it's one of the most stressful periods of your life and yet there is no support out there for those who have mental health difficulties unless you're already in the system

Additional Information

CAMHS is for children and adolescents; IAPT is for 18 and over year olds. At 17, CAMHS say that you're too old to be in their care and IAPT says you're too young! So there needs to be a better system which provides for 17 year olds in the transition period to being an adult.
