Little Kyle's mum and dad are petitioning for better services after the heartbreaking experience.
A Glasgow mum whose son attempted to take his own life on three separate occasions has called for improved mental health care for children in schools.
“We just kept getting told it was his age, or the fact he has autism, or it was because of the covid lockdowns and that kids bounce back. The family experienced a brief improvement in Kyle's mental health over Christmas 2021, but he quickly relapsed after returning to school. “Our boy is 11 now and is in a much better place," Kirsty said. "He can now recognise himself if he is having a bad day.
“We have a petition calling for funding to put mental health staff into schools. A lot of children with these issues, schools pick up on them first, but they have nowhere to go with it. It can go to education psychology but they are so stretched as well.“If children can get support earlier as well, it can help stop putting such pressure on mental health services for adults.”
