I was looking around the internet about mental health and I stumbled upon this petition. I definitely agree that mental health services could definitely better. You provided compelling reasons why I should sign, so I did. I am also 18 and detained in a mental health hospital. I don’t like it. I am here against my will. I am not mentally ill but diagnosed with autism. You should find out more about this issue as well. There are lots of people in hospital for no reason. My situation is opposite from yours. I see no reason to not want better care and better systems. I wish you luck and hope you get better soon. Remember to keep fighting. I will fight too.
I'm so sorry this is hapoening to you and your family.
My son and myself experienced unprofessional staff too. I despair nothing seems to have changed.
I hope this petition makes a difference. You and your family deserve to get the help you need and to be treated with respect.
I been in the same position as this boy, someone really needs to take a look at mental health support in the UK because the help you receive is ridiculous, you’d get more support if you were in prison
As a former fellow patient of ward f with my own horrific and dehumanising experiences amd treatment by staff there, I'm signing to ensure change and better standards are made in ward f for mental health patients who are admitted either voluntarily or sectioned in their most desperate state and deserve to be met with empathy, safety and care not abuse and neglect.
My friend went through so much - same doctors being mentioned - comments made that were harmful. Them trying to use me as her care plan. I was even told I couldn’t stay with her for a while to make her feel safe whilst they send me away saying they would jab her and deal with her in the morning!!! She sadly lost her battle last year and I know she would want to support this cause so badly!! ❤️
Many adoptions are failures, adopters relinquish and the adoptee is still stuck with the name, the altered birth certificate, and often no idea who their parents are. Parents are not notified when an adoption fails! They should be allowed to reunite.
