Mental Health Bill [HL]Contribution
“I’ve never felt more unsafe than when I’ve been on wards. I think they’re the most scary place that a child or young person could ever be. It’s a catchphrase, ‘hospital makes you worse’ … Everyone makes jokes about going into hospital with one problem and then leaving with trauma, new behaviours, new diagnoses, assaults, PTSD – it’s awful”.
