Despite a growing number of children and teenagers needing mental health support, funding has been cut drastically in the South West.
Funding for child mental health services in the South West has been cut by almost half in the last three years.
Health bodies in the region have reduced spending on child and adolescent mental health disorders from 89 million to 49 million pounds.
It is the largest reduction of any region in England and as a result the Children's Society says it plans to expand its work.
The charity offers a range services for young people including counselling and and emotional support services.
