Why this petition matters

Started by Catharine Venator

In experience, in Peterborough Ontario when in hospital and a mental health patient arrives distressed. Peterborough Regional Hospital will just retrain and sedate the patient. When they wake up in even more distress Peterborough Regional Hospital is known just to re-sedate the patient. This is an non-effective method for mental health patients. "As a experienced patient there with mental illness I am freaking out because I am not aware of my surroundings." Karyna Carruthers says. "I am freaking out and in distress; I just want the proper help and caring and sympatethic staff to be there and to properly destress myself. Being sedated makes me uneasy and is triggering from past experiences" says Catharine Venator. In Peterborough there should be more programs for mental health. Mental health as arose in Peterborough for many years and has become significantly high. If there were more programs in Peterborough. I believe the mental health crises would decrease by quite a lot. More mental health patients would be honored to participate in a program rather than in a hospital setting and get the proper care. There are other towns in Ontario that have these programs and it has helped these towns to give the proper attention that they need. 

    I'm creating this petition to honor those with mental illness to get the proper care that they need. Please sign if you agree Peterborough Ontario, Canada needs more mental health services. I believe this would help the town a lot out.
