I like what Imah said take on small changes where you're needed. having been in the mental health system for over 30 years as a patient, it has changed so much for the good because of people like you. I remember being totally abused by the other patients and especially workers which left me speechless. The pshyc wards were filled with punishment and pain, at the hand of the staff too. i have stories that you wouldn't believe. At my last stay about 2 years ago, i couldn't believe there were actually compassionate people since i never experienced compassion from other hospitals before. I think the government made some changes and expectations for workers in the hospitals. Well, all i can say is i hope it keeps getting better, i, myself am less afraid to go and get myself too.
