towards a humane psychiatric crisis system
When someone has a mental health crisis (e.g. they experience psychosis or mania, they feel suicidal), they and their loved ones need help to survive it, recover, and become resilient to whatever led to the crisis. The current psychiatric crisis system cannot reliably do this; instead, it often leaves people traumatised, alienated, and burdened with bureaucratic problems.
In June 2021 I lost my brother to suicide after he was forced into punitive and unhelpful psychiatric treatment. Many more people have experienced what he did, and they deserve better.
