August 2007 Sign a petition to improve access to talking therapies on the NHS Due to a lack of funding, people who want to see a therapist on the NHS are forced to wait as long as 18 months for an appointment. The emotional and financial costs to individuals, families and society are enormous. Sign the online petition to urge the government to slash waiting times and release more funds for psychological therapies so that people who need help can access it. Sign now at www.weneedtotalk.org.uk/petition.asp |

For those seeking information on self-injury and suicide click on the links below to access BBC Radio 1's One Life documentaries. Hear first hand accounts of young people's struggles with self-injury/thoughts of suicide and some success stories. Please look after yourself when listening to them, as it can be difficult to listen to. People who self-harm have often been branded as 'attention-seeking' but self-harm is still mistreated and misunderstood, by professionals and friends of self-harmers alike. In November 2004 ex-Eastenders actor Chris Parker checked into a hotel and tried to kill himself. Thankfully Chris survived, but many men who attempt the same thing don't. Chris looks at the problem of male suicide and the reasons behind why so many young men try to end it all. This programme contains content that could be upsetting to some listeners. |
