GIVE HOSPITAL A CHANCE!

Having read about the proposals concerning knocking down the old ST Augustines care home in Cobridge and rebuilding it into a new psychiatric unit which as caused a lot of concern .Let put the matter right having worked in mental health for quite a while and have certificates on this subject it is blown out of proportion a lot as these people are not violent people they just happen to be unlucky to suffer this illness and 1 in 4 people suffer some mental ill health in their life .I myself have a very close relative who as experienced mental ill health for several years and was in a secure unit but as made a full recovery and is in a good job with qualifications so before discriminating - think again as a lot of people have gone through a bad experience past as my relative did.
