Fund services for women 16-26 who may have suffered sexual abuse trauma

Background

Funding should be provided to help find out if women aged 16-26 with diagnosed or undiagnosed 'mental health illnesses' are struggling with sexual abuse trauma, and to signpost them to church groups or counsellors that can help, rather than admitting them to mainstream mental health hospitals.

Additional details

I think that many women have been victims of sexual abuse with the added trauma of being forced to a hospital to take medication. Large numbers of women suffer sexual abuse and harassment and many do not report it. Sexual abuse is recorded in mental health hospitals.
