Demand Better Mental Health Services in West Belfast – Colin Needs Support


Demand Better Mental Health Services in West Belfast – Colin Needs Support
The Issue
We, the residents of Colin and wider West Belfast, are calling on Belfast City Council and the Stormont Assembly to urgently address our area's severe lack of mental health services.
Many in our community are suffering in silence due to:
- Long waiting lists
- Inadequate local mental health facilities
- Lack of support for young people, families, and those in crisis
We demand:
- Acknowledgement of the mental health crisis in West Belfast
- Funding for walk-in, community-based mental health centres in Twinbrook
- Support for local outreach and school-based mental health programs
Mental health is not a luxury—it’s a right. Help us protect our community’s well-being by signing and sharing this petition today.
