Knowledge is power
sadly in the mental health system
the power is usually one-sided
We aim to change this
Kendall House, Gravesend, Kent
-Click on the above link to sign the petition
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Have a public enquiery into Kendall House, Gravesend, Kent. An enquiery into not only the severe & shocking abuse, but also an enquiery into why the girls drugged went onto have children with birth defects.
Submitted by Teresa Cooper of www.no2abuse.com– Deadline to sign up by: 11 August 2009Kendall House severely abused many young girls in care,
sexually, physically, mentally and used the most extreme doses of dangerous
psychotropic drugs without consent on girls in care of the local authorities
and the Church of England. Chemotherapy was also highlighted in that regime in
1979 & 1980. The girls did not have cancer.
We demand an enquiry into the shocking abuse, the drugs
and the side affects of those drugs used on the girls and an enquiry into why
the girls children have been born with birth defects associated to the drugs
forced on them in Kendall House.
NEW WEBSITE
This site aims to expose the way the mental health system
fails and re-traumatizes adult survivors of severe childhood trauma and
abuse.
The sad fact is that the current mental health system
fails and re-traumatizes many victims of severe childhood trauma and
abuse. Rather than being helped many are ignored and their lives are
blighted by contact with mental health services.
Problems exist such as
Putting male convicted sex offenders in the same ward and
sometimes the next bed as female victims of sexual violence.
Wards being smeared with excrement (hardly a place for
battered wives etc to regain a sense of self worth or human decency)
Frequent mis-diagnosis due to very poor training on abuse
issues
Because of such poor training “professionals” assume some
survivors are beyond help and are incurable.
The system then witholds any
appropriate psychotherapy and effectively gives up on such patients.
This Website is dedicated to exposing the way the mental health service has let down victims of severe trauma and abuse and gives a space for people to share their experiences. Obviously if people would prefer to remain anonymous thats fine - and as many people as want to contribute are welcome. I don't want anyone to feel excluded - emotional abuse counts as well as physical abuse and everyone is welcome!...
All people need to do if they want to share their story is e-mail me at traumablogger@hotmail.com
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.”
"A child is born today in the United Kingdom stands a ten times greater chance of being admitted to a mental hospital than to a university...This can be taken as an indication that we are driving our children mad more effectively than we are genuinely educating them. Perhaps it is our way of educating them that is driving them mad"
