Our #MentalHealth system fails children with #DualDiagnosis of #autism and #MentalIllness, #disability, substance use or non-conforming #GenderIdentity.

"#Cork TD & #SocialDemocrats leader #HollyCairns said there are currently 854 young people #waiting for #CAMHS services in Cork... over 300 waiting more than a year."

There is "total #gatekeeping at the mention of #autism or #addiction in addition to mental health issues".

The standard of care for #adult #DualDiagnosis is bad too. People who work in #Psychatric care in #Ireland are amazing, over-worked, under-paid, and staggeringly under-resourced.
