This is a petition to allow mental health patients more of a preventative treatment during there lifetimes rather than one that is only there when life is too much to bare. Those people out there that have long standing mental health conditions know only too well that people are about in times of crisis then the rest of the time you are pretty much left on your own, til the next time you hit a crisis point. I honestly believe that these patients have rite to a more fluid form of care something that gives them a quality of life that is more than a constant downwards spiral that eventually becomes to much to bare. I am asking the mental health services to review the way they deal with long term users. Allowing them some form of constant support not just an emergency helpline. this needs reviewing to save lives. medicine is all about prevention we prevent illnesses with vaccination why not prevent a suicide with a constant support network.

Mental health system is totally broken. They wait til you are at breaking point to actually help and by then its way too late. Need consistent care not just a bandaid
