Here's a message we've received from Rethink that you might be interested in:
Rethink Mental Illness is really concerned about cuts to mental health services, and we want to make sure the Government knows the impact these cuts are having on people affected by mental illness. We are compiling a report to raise awareness of this issue and to fight unfair cuts, and we urgently need our members, activists and supporters to tell us about how cuts have affected them personally. Your story could feature in our report, and we are also looking for people who would be interested in talking to the media about how they have been affected by cuts. This could mean having your name and photograph published, but if you would feel more comfortable to tell your story anonymously then that could also be an option.
To tell us about how cuts to mental health services have affected you, please fill in our online form. We are particularly keen to hear about cuts to housing, crisis or inpatient services.
We want the government to hear about your experiences as soon as possible, so the deadline for taking part is next Thursday, 18th August – we won’t be able to use information sent to us after that point. Please also note that we wouldn’t publish anything without first asking your permission.
We’d also like to say a big thank you to anyone who has already sent us information about cuts though our Cutswatch survey – your contributions have been very helpful!
