Closure of Vital Clinic
Canning Crescent Clinic for vital Mental Health Services, is closing in December. This is in Wood Green, Haringey;an area with enormous needs for mental health.
Why is this important?
This clinic provides an essential co-ordinated approach for all sorts of vulnerable people with mental health needs. Appointments can be arranged in less than a day, with someone who is having a crisis with health professionals such as Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Mental health Nurses, G.Ps and Dietitians.
Services are being transferred to St.Ann's Hospital but most professionals will now be scattered all over the borough making full co-ordinated treatment impossible. Also, most clients are very vulnerable and extremely intimidated by going to a hospital like St.Ann's. Community treatment should be just that, provided in the community.
A lot of people will have appointments few and far between and some will be too scared to go. Please help us to stop this closure. They are only doing this to sell the building and making a mere £2 million pounds.
My family member is among those affected. A person who got to Cambridge University through sheer determination from an ordinary comprehensive school. A very young teenager was forced to leave by an uncaring head of department at Cambridge because she was suffering from all sorts of anxieties. No offer of help was made. This experience led to a full mental break down. She faced having no future until this clinic stepped in and helped her with their specialised treatment. However, if the closure goes ahead, she cannot face going to St.Ann's and her condition will deteriorate as a result.
I would be so grateful if you could sign this petition. The government are only closing it to save the NHS a tiny amount. It will back fire because the chaos that will be created will cost them millions. Thank you so much.
