Petition Take greater action to improve young people's mental health in the UK

More than 100,000 14-year-olds in the UK self-harm. We the undersigned call for Parliament to respond by adopting new Children's Society guidelines (such as requiring a counsellor in every secondary school) so all young people can access the support for their mental health they need.
