Thank you to everyone who has signed and supported this petition so far. This campaign is no longer about one person’s experience — it is about a pattern that too many people are encountering within our mental health services.

Over recent months, many individuals have contacted us privately to say, “this happened to me too.” To ensure these voices are not lost, minimised, or dismissed two important spaces are now available:

1. Facebook support & discussion group

A safe space has been created for people to share experiences, compare concerns, and support one another. If you or someone you love has been affected, please consider joining and contributing if you feel able.

2. Senedd petition calling for scrutiny and action

Alongside this Change.org petition, a formal Senedd petition is now live. This is a critical step — it creates an official public record and requires consideration at a national level.

👉 https://petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/246856

If you have experienced minimisation of risk, dismissive responses, poor safeguarding, or failures in mental health care, your voice matters. Whether you choose to speak publicly, anonymously, or simply support by signing and sharing — it all contributes to building the wider picture.

Please: 

• Join the Facebook discussion group

• Sign and share the Senedd petition

• Encourage others to do the same

Change only happens when patterns are made visible. Thank you for standing with us and for helping ensure these experiences are no longer ignored.

Signed,

Welsh Mental Health Services Exposed Team
