I have been in contact with a mother in the UK who is trying to secure some help for her daughter. What follows is a brief summary of her experience in her own words...

Quote

My daughter went into hospital (Section 3) after trying to commit suicide. She had borderline personality disorder and couldn't cope with things, it all became too much. She has a husband and 2 wonderful children and we think it could be postnatal depression that may have started this. The hospital she is in is not in our area and she is approximately an hours drive from us and her family. She has now been in a secure unit for over 2 years...

This mother is desperate to help her daughter and family. Please click the sourced link above to read the rest of her story, posted on my blog. If you are in the UK and may know of some resources that will be helpful to her, please share that information in the comments section of that post or in this space. In particular, it will be helpful for her to hear from others who have made an appeal to the tribunal boards and won. If you are not in the UK and do not know where she might find additional assistance please share her story with others in case they know of someone.

Thank you.
