Give CAMHS around the country more funding - 2 year waiting lists are NOT okay.
The fact that many CAMHS services have 18 to 24 month waiting lists is not OK. Only children who are a risk to themselves are let in. ALL children with mental health issues should have treatement within 4 weeks of referral. Please sign this so CAMHS gets more funding and this issue nationwide ends.
Evidence:
Personal experience in CAMHS
