Closed Better mental health services

Closed on

All mental health resources are stretched, with the people working under pressure admitting they haven't got the resources.
This is all due to government cuts and closing of services and wards.
There are more people in the uk needing mental health help and not knowing where to turn or who can help.
Our personal experience is shocking and could be classed as neglect. No specific person for contact. Workers moving around departments, so no continuity. Not getting phoned back, after leaving messages. No out of hours services, advised to go to A and E. Discharge from mental health hospital ward, when still unwell, leading to re admittance. Very little after care, even though still un well. No regular checks when starting to recover.
Basically the government need to step up and provide the services needed, instead of stretching the ones already in place.
Please sign and support, you never know if one day you may need help or someone you love will.
