In our current CAMHS system, vulnerable children are being left behind, over-prescribed and under-supported, which was brought to light in the shocking report about the system last year.  In this week’s episode Niall is joined by three mothers whose families have been through the immense stress and struggle of accessing the CAMHS system in Ireland. Hannah Ní Ghiolla Mhairtín, having received no support for her young daughter and after taking part in commissions and consultations to no avail, decided to set up Families for Reform of CAMHS to support other parents and campaign for better care for the children of Ireland. Jenny and Anne have both had horrific experiences trying to get help for their children in crisis, with lack of access in certain parts of the country and blockages due to intellectual disability diagnoses. All three women are calling for a complete reform of the system, to create better access, a new model of care and eradicate the discrimination against children with additional needs.  They very bravely share their stories in this episode, which contains difficult topics.
