Petition Extend CAMHS mental health services age limit to 20

Currently in the UK, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services go up to a person's 18th birthday where they will be transferred to Adult Mental Health Services. This should be extended to a person’s 20th birthday.

More details

An 18-19yr is a TEEN with many of the same rights as a 16yo. CAMHS should end at 20th birthday, giving teens more time to work with the CAMHS they have grown to know so well, giving them the best odds of recovery, without having the stress of adjusting to Adult Services at age 18.
