Rejected petition More funding for youth services and the reopening of community centers

There needs to be more funding for youth mental health services, as many of these services have been closed at the start of the pandemic due to a lack of funds. This has caused a further decrease in quality support provided to the people in need of real intervention.

There are only two health services in our area and none of them are dedicated to the youth.
