For me, mental health, nhs and education are right up their in my priorities - especially from doing my masters and realising just how much more needs to be done for sectors such as CAMHS to best meet the needs of young people.

i do also think housing/employment are important issues especially as young person who (although not in a position to move out) has seen the substantial challenges facing young adults regarding houses and first time buyers.

pretty much i think theyre all important issues, but as someone who is passionate about mental health of young people, i completely believe more needs to be done in that area

I feel like they are all important subjects for them to fund but i feel like no matter how much thwy fund them without a clear plan it wont change anything

The NHS is falling apart. I dont know what can be done but I really hope they do something to sort stuff out. I’m feeling kind of hopeless about it though.
We can’t even go to the dentist anymore.
There definitely needs to be more put into mental health services too.
It kind of all feels unfixable. So many things about the way society works are so messed up, I just don’t get it.

I definitely feel like the NHS needs to be given more funding and sorted out properly. Especially the wait times in A +E and the beds situation as sometimes there are people who need a bed but have to wait for hours just to get one and their condition could be critical. This need is quite personal to me as well as I had a family member who was in the ED for over three days just to be seen for a serious hip infection. Also I wish the NHS prioritised metal health properly and treated crisis situations like they should than just discharging people. I also feel like counselling services need to be improved because sometimes some types of counselling is still outdated and needs updating as well as them only lasting six weeks too. It should be tailored towards the persons specific needs and what the person wants out of the session too. This might be me rambling a bit.

Also I want more rights and equality for both the lgbtqia+ community as well as for the transgender community. I feel like the big ups in power just want to isolate a lot of trans people and I think it's so so wrong because they are human beings too. I know I cannot speak for all the people in the community but from what I have seen and heard, things needs changing and improving. Also they need to stop making laws that out people as this could be dangerous and harming to the person as well.

Another thing I want more on is disability rights and more inclusion for neurodiverse folk like me.

More opportunities for young people like work experience, social action etc and also more support for people with disabilities and health conditions
