Poor mental health causes heartbreak for individuals and families, and affects 1 in 4 people - and lockdown has only made things worse.
Yet the SNP government has been slow to act. Waiting times are far too long and they aren't training enough new staff.
Throughout Central Scotland we are being told of waits for over a year to get the support people need.
In fact the most recent official waiting times statistics for Scotland's child and adolescent mental health services (known as Camhs) showed that in December there were 1,560 patients who had waited more than 52 weeks. This is simply not good enough
Liberal Democrats are fighting for more funding, shorter waiting times, and for mental health to be taken as seriously as physical health. Join our campaign and sign up today.
Whether you've already signed up to the campaign or aren't ready just yet, you can still help encourage other people to sign up.
