Harrowing outcome
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-03-12/mental-health-service-under-fire-in-coroners-findings-on-teenag/5315328
Someone has finally said something of the truth for once. Pretending that it is ok for children/ teenagers to not see a psychiatrist because somehow their mental illness is not as bad, or severe or real as an adult has lead to this disaster a well as many others no doubt. Of course children do not have a vote so lack the power to do anything here. Therefore they rely on adults to look after them and lobby on their behalf.
It concerns me that there is a code of silence around the poor mental health services because it is such a political hot potato.
I just hope that one coroner is enough to shake the system rather than someone makes another feel good statement, covers up the trail and its business as usual.
Please think about this and start lobbies for investigations of mental health resources and proper health care.
