My daughter, Amber Rose Nolan, was a young woman battling mental health issues in the state of Virginia. She sought help from Blue Ridge Behavioral Health after several suicide attempts. The psychologist responsible for her care was Erica Faith Church, a married woman with a young son.

Tragically, instead of providing professional help and support to my vulnerable daughter, Erica engaged in an inappropriate sexual relationship with her. When this relationship ended abruptly, my daughter took her own life and left behind suicide notes addressed to Erica.

This is not just about my daughter; it's about all those who seek mental health treatment and trust their caregivers to act ethically and professionally. Statistics show that 1 in 5 adults in America experience mental illness each year (National Alliance on Mental Illness). These individuals deserve proper care from professionals who uphold their ethical responsibilities.

We demand that the state of Virginia charge Erica Faith Church with criminal negligence for failing to provide appropriate care and engaging in an unethical relationship that led directly to Amber's tragic death. This case must serve as a stark reminder of the responsibility mental health professionals bear towards their patients.

Please sign this petition if you believe justice should be served for Amber Rose Nolan and all victims of professional misconduct within the mental health sector.
