I am writing with a heavy heart as an employee of Waythrough White Gables Crisis House, a mental health support centre that has been a beacon of hope and assistance for countless individuals in our community. The news of its potential closure due to funding withdrawal is not just devastating to me personally as I face losing my job, but more importantly, it is a grave loss to the numerous individuals who rely on our services in their times of crisis.

Waythrough White Gables Crisis House has been instrumental in transforming the lives of many by providing essential services and support to those in mental health crisis. Our facility offers a safe haven where individuals can learn vital tools and techniques that enable them to regain control of their lives and embark on the path to recovery. The specialised support we provide fills a crucial gap in the mental health services available in our community.

Recent statistics show that mental health problems are escalating across the country, with one in four individuals experiencing a mental health issue each year. Facilities like ours are more important than ever, playing a critical role in supporting mental well-being and helping individuals rebuild their lives. The loss of Waythrough White Gables Crisis House would leave a significant void that local health services simply cannot fill alone.

We understand that funding is limited, but the cost of losing such a vital service could be much higher. We propose exploring alternative funding avenues, public campaigns, or partnerships with private organisations that could help sustain our operations. We urge the relevant authorities to reassess their decision and consider the tremendous benefits our facility brings in preserving community mental health.

Please stand with us in advocating for the continuation of Waythrough White Gables Crisis House. Your support could make the difference between hope and despair for many individuals. Let us ensure that we continue to provide this critical service to those in desperate need.

Sign this petition to urge the funding authorities to reconsider their decision and save Waythrough White Gables Crisis House from closure. Together, we can make a difference in maintaining essential mental health services for our community.
