Petition Update: Taking Action for Change

I wanted to share an update on what’s been happening.

Recently, I had to write a formal letter to my GP practice about how I was treated while in crisis. This was not easy — it’s been incredibly upsetting — but I believe it’s important to speak out so that no one else ever has to experience this.

I’m now having to find a new GP practice, which makes me feel really uneasy. After how I’ve been treated in the past, I’m scared this could happen again — and no one should ever have to feel that way when reaching out for help.

I’ve also contacted my MP and MSP to raise awareness and push for change. GP receptionists and doctors need mandatory training in mental health and suicide awareness — the system is failing too many people at their most vulnerable.

Thank you to everyone who has signed or shared the petition so far.
