Our mental health services are in crisis. Young people want action, not more empty promises. YoungMinds are campaigning to #EndTheWait.

I recently asked a Prime Minister’s Question on the worrying levels of young people being admitted to Barnsley Hospital due to self-harm. This is a mental health crisis and we need action NOW.

Following this, over the last few months, I met with the Gov Minister responsible, local stakeholders, South Yorkshire & Bassetlaw Integrated Care System, and the local authority to discuss how to alleviate this crisis.

It’s time to #EndTheWait. If you have issues relating to mental health services you are comfortable to share, please contact stephanie.peacock.mp@parliament.uk. 💙
