Rejected petition Give Young People in Kent a Safe Place in Mental health crisis.

Kent has no crisis houses for under 18s. Young people Only have the option of hospital. They need a safe comfortable place to feel safe.

More details

There are crisis houses for adults but none specifically for young people. I want local services to fund and open a safe, short-term crisis house for under-18s in Kent, with trained staff and 24/7 support, so young people have somewhere calm and supportive to go without needing hospital admission.
