Stop closing day services
Fund day services in Hastings and Rother.
Why is this important?
Mental health services are inadequately funded, understaffed and stretched to breaking point.
Your Way have long been day services in the area, now they are being restructured to offer 1 to 1 support, in the community. 1 to 1 support is being undertaken by various other organisations. Your Way are the main day services and have started to turn existing service users away and not encouraging new service users.
Continuing down this route will increase dependency on mental health services, increase risk of suicides, increased hospital admissions and fail the needs of the community.
