We are collecting anonymous experiences from young people to help highlight the impact of underfunding in teen mental health services in Ireland.

Your full story will not be shared publicly. Instead, we may use short, anonymous themes or excerpts to show how funding shortages, long waiting times, and lack of early support affect young people.

Our aim is not to bash CAMHS. We recognise that many professionals are doing their best in an overstretched system. The issue we want to highlight is government underfunding and systemic gaps, not personal blame.

By submitting, you are helping call for better funding, earlier intervention, and stronger mental health supports for young people.
