A Podcast Digi Film For Tommy Rose Who Committed Suicide 2008

Fuller comments on Tommy and his funeral is on Mandy's Lifeboat Appeal Blog

Tommy was a mental health User with multiple selves and a unique disposition according to Mandy one of our UK colleagues .. He died at least partly because the mental health systems around him are still contexts of social exclusion even when they claim the opposite, and even when there are other Users involved in those systems with some advantages they appear to selectively include themselves whilst excluding others ...Let the Podcast speak out about this in its basic and raw way ..

Thankyou Beaulieu

I wish I could have said more but like Tommy and those around him I too know the blue deep waves of what is a hopeless mental health system sometimes in the UK . It hits hard...Witness is the first duty of those left ..

There is great suffering in the UK amongst some mental health Users worsenend I think by the new tendency for systems to try to "socially engineer" and do so with State agenda's of "work" as opposed to patient choices of treatments . Its a very tilted agenda now ..

I strongly suspect there is more darkness of the soul come in the next few years as welfare reform bites deep into the bottom parts of society which is so often where those with mental health problems inhabit ..
