I am on the other side of the fence now. I went from a career in life as a nurse to being disabled mentally,emotionally and at times physically from the loss of my husband/soulmate to.suicide... we need to eliminate the stigma and get the word out there that help is there and there needs to be more accessibility and affordable.
Why is this important?
I'm writing this petition in regards to ALL POLITICAL PARTIES as well as the PEOPLE to get involved in knowledge as well as making MENTAL HEALH ISSUES a priority!!! The world we live in now is at risk every single moment of everyday with 100's of people affected by mental illness issues...my concern is the lack of interest/knowledge from our leaders and the people in this matter. I have suffered from severe depression for a long time...and have lived.through the traumatic death of my wonderful husband who took his life by suicide. Suicide is on the rise in many age groups due to the lack of awareness to the mental illness issue. We need to put this matter on top of the list in politics as well as everyday living!! We need to eliminate the stigma of mental illness issues and make the help more affordable as well available!
