Petition · Introduce Crisis Centres for Mental Health Patients in the Community! #liveforsymphony

Join Rebecca Moring's Campaign to Establish Crisis Centres for Mental Health Patients
in the Community!

Why this petition matters?

Mental health is a growing problem in the UK and globally. Rebecca Moring has been in the mental
health system for 5 years both in inpatient and outpatient settings. During that time, Rebecca has
met a lot of amazing people, all with their own struggles and journeys, however, the one thing they
all have in common is their agreement on the vast lack of mental health support in the community.
Rebecca has created this petition to try to introduce the idea of having A&E departments or crisis
centres nationally that are specifically designed for mental health patients. This would benefit
these patients in a number of different ways, for example:

1. General A&E departments can be very loud and busy, which can deter mental health patients
from accessing the care that they need.

2. The staff would be specifically mental health trained so that they could aid in deescalating
crisis situations and would be caring and compassionate, which would help patients feel listened
to rather than judged or dismissed.

3. There would be a higher staff ratio, which would mean riskier patients would be able to be
kept safe while they were there.

4. There would also be more trained psychiatric professionals on site so that the patient wait
time is reduced and acutely unwell patients could be seen to and sent to an appropriate hospital
more quickly.

These are just a few out of many examples of reasons why this change would help hundreds and even
thousands of people on a daily basis.

Rebecca Moring shares a deeply personal story of loss to underscore the urgent need for enhanced
community mental health support. Two years ago, Rebecca lost her partner to suicide, a tragedy
that highlights the critical gaps in post-discharge care. This petition aims to prevent such
losses by  advocating for accessible crisis centres and mental health services. Your signature
can save lives  and offer hope to those in need.
