I've seen an increase in poor child mental health and in London it's at a crisis point the CAMHS service is completely overwhelmed & we are losing children to suicide & self harm everyday.
It's the affect of 15 years of heartless Tory rule & the rise of Rightwing dogma.

I'm glad we are seeing more discussion about the impact on kids.
One of the most disgusting and disturbing things about the anti-welfare rhetoric since 2010 has been the lack of concern for the kids affected by cuts.
Shame on everyone who has supported the 2 child benefit cap.

Something I used to point out to parents and carers when I worked in CAMHS is that kids will usually say the most hurtful stuff to those they're most confident and secure in the love of.
Not always the case, but often is.

Should they be penalised because they are disabled? Unable to cope in school because they are autistic and can't get necessary accommodations because the local authority is skint? Or because they have struggled mentally and can't get help because they are stuck on a 3 year waiting list for CAMHS? 1/

In particular, we can blame the collapse in CAMHS provision for the increasing number of young adults living with a mental health disability. If they aren’t treated early, mental health problems become chronic, debilitating and a lengthy sentence of misery

Cancer sucks and #SEMH matters. Both husband and I found this book helpful.
Eldest and I are currently in #Talkingtherapy, fighting to get #CAMHS support for the youngest.

The panel is filled with the most vitriolic of anti-trans activists.

Then the layoffs happened and I’ve both had more and less time. And definitely less structure. Dealing with the CAMHS application and some areas of school work needing more focus ate the free time I supposedly gained. Here’s how I still managed to continue working on the tools:
