Please read the following statement from Autism NI and consider signing the petition using the QR code below. Thank you for your time.
Autism NI is calling for the introduction of an Autism Mental Health Service In NI.
Autistic people have higher levels of poor mental health compared to the general population and are more vulnerable to mental health issues, particularly in adolescence and early adulthood. With over 35,000 autistic people living in Northern Ireland, we believe that there must be immediate action taken to introduce a specialist autism mental health service.
We urgently need mental health professionals that are trained in autism who can deliver support strategies that work for autistic people, within a timely manner.
Autism NI is asking YOU to 'Sign' and 'Share' this petition to show our Department of Health that we need action NOW.
