I thought @chiccs72 having support to campaign for better mental health services for children from @GillianKeegan was amazing but last night I watched and met the amazing @LostGirl_UK who has agreed to support our campaign. Here is how it all started chiccs.org
Please listen to my dear friend Emma describe her experience of getting help for her suicidal child today in West Cumbria. Pls Share

@chiccs72 support people to share their views on mental health services!!! Let's get #RealChange for Suicidal Children. Thank you @GillianKeegan for hearing us today. ❤
I urge everyone to #TalkMentalHealth and share their views in our new call for evidence launched today.
Responses will inform a new 10-year plan to level up mental health across the country.

Excited to visit London with @chiccs72 today to discuss children’s mental health support in Cumbria 💜

If someone opens up to you about their mental health, don't feel like you have to have all the answers. Simply listening can be enough.

One year ago today my daughter tried to take her life. After a year of battling we finally got the help we needed. We can help other teenagers access mental health services in Cumbria but we need your support.

Imagine a school where your mental health is just as important as your grades. That’s worth striving for.

Exclusive: CAMHS waiting times have more than doubled in Cumbria since the pandemic.
Experts say early intervention support is crucial.
Yet I've learned less than a quarter of the county's schools can access it.
What's the impact of this going to be?

Excellent piece about mental health issues in young people in these challenging times.
Emma talks eloquently about her family's experience of support and how it can be improved
"This kills more people and it needs to be addressed"

A recent report shows 1 in 6 children now have a probable mental health condition.

If you could share one message to a young person who is being bullied, and has low self-esteem, what would it be?
Someone may really need to hear what you have to say.
Children in Crisis Cumbria Support retweeted
The smallest displays of kindness, like picking up the phone to check-in on someone, could make all the difference
If you are worried about a loved one or neighbour who may be struggling, check in and offer support

A school where your wellbeing is valued as highly as your exam results. That’s worth striving for.

“Talking about mental health needs to start earlier than when we get to 16 and we’re doing PSHE. It has to be engrained into lessons and it has to be engrained into schools… as early as possible”

What if young people didn't have to wait until things got worse before they got help? What if we had a system that, instead of intervening at crisis point, provided support when problems first started?
Children in Crisis Cumbria Support retweeted
190,271 under 18-year-olds were referred to mental health services between June and April 2021. A 134% increase from the previous year.
And there are currently 374,000 under 18-year-olds on the official waiting list for NHS mental health care.
This is an emergency.

It's natural for us to go through periods where we don't feel very confident. Aimee, 17, shares a simple analogy that helps her when she's struggling with low self-esteem.
