What the petition asks

My son Ollie had mental health problems. Both myself and Ollie cried out to the proffesionals to help him. He was let continuously let down by people who did not understand him, this ultimatly led to his death on the 16th August 2015. Its time for this to change.
Ollie had previously tried to take his own life on multiple occasions, everytime he did so he was discharged, the final time they disreguarded what he was saying and crying for help he took his own life. No family should have to go through this again. We can change this with more funding and better training for mental health.
