    Story

    Help us get a base for Me4mental

    What is ME4MENTAL?
    We are a group set up from a running Mental Health support page on Facebook. We have come together with the common goal of setting up and helping better Mental heath services in Derry/Londonderry.
    We speak from experience, and our knowledge of the current crisis that our local communities are experiencing is first-hand. We have researched, quite thoroughly, statistics that are available regarding our local area, based on 'Mental Health and Suicide', and have come to an alarming conclusion, where if we don't act now our death toll [due to suicide] which was recorded as 504 deaths in 2016 will rise again to even more this year. Derry/Londonderry currently has the highest rate of suicide in the North West.

    What do we stand for?
    We stand for none other than the people of Derry/Londonderry, we are mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters who fear for the lives of those we hold dear. We no longer have faith in the system and have come to the conclusion that we must take action ourselves. We want a major increase in our mental health budget and as it stands it is at an all time low, increasing the amount of lives lost. We no longer put our trust in the hands of our local representatives as so far we have seen no immediate action taken.

    What do we hope to achieve?
    We hope as a group to have the support of all of our residents who agree that something has to change in order for our system to work. We hope to eventually open a drop-in centre, open 24 hours seven days a week, that is designed for those who find themselves in a mental health related crisis, not relating to drugs or alcohol, or for those who feel low or need help and most importantly anyone considering taking their own life. We want to create a safe environment for those who have reached out for help in other places but due to red tape and very little understanding into mental health have been turned away or have been refused help.
