Rejected petition I want the government to fund CAMHS, to support, teenage mental health

Mental health is a real issue for young people. particularly in lockdown, and CAHMS is really effective, however their funding has been reduced. So we would like the government to provide more funding.

More details

I researched this particular issue, and found that 20% of adolescents could experience mental health issues, 50% of mental health problems are established fro the age 14. So i feel very strongly to help those that need and should get the best support, ad CAHMS can provide this, if they had the staff and facilities.
