Uk Petition For Financial Provision Toward Sexual Abuse Therapy

[Springer80]

I have signed.

I went through the National Health Service (NHS) system, when I was first diagnosed with PTSD (as a result of stranger rape at knife point). The NHS system wasn't great.My saviour was a charity...

Hi Cherryblossom,

First....High Five :stop:. Second, I'm sorry that you also experienced the blunt instrument non trauma based therapy is. It's definitely time it was changed. Thirdly, what charity helped you? Could you email them the link? ;)

The Charity that helped me was Kinergy.

The woman who established the petition is something to do with this charity www.oneinfour.ie and they have a counterpart charity in the USA too.

Hi All, I go this reply today regarding the privacy and usage of the personal details required by the HM Gov' petition.

'Dear Ms ...,

Thank you for your message regarding e-petitions.

The database of signatures is not, as you suggest, available on request. The information is never published or accessible to anyone other than those directly responsible for the operation of the e-petition site. Given this, we discourage the use of initials or pseudonyms on the site - although we cannot prevent this, we would be concerned if a large proportion of signatures to any petition were anonymised.

Yours sincerely

Office of the Leader of the House of Commons'

So there you go....Your name is required so they can check the petition entries are genuine but they are not shown nor stored in a publicly accessible format. Hope that is reassuring to anyone who may have been understandably wavering about it.

I've signed it. My therapy is and always has been through the mental health charity, 'Mind'. NHS services for this is lousy. Will spread the word.

How many do they need before it gets looked at in parliament? Don't know much about them. :whistling:

I think is 100,000! :eek: So if you can pass it on to any organizations/professionals locally you've used or think would be supportive that would be great.

Yeah I know is a bit of a all order but I reckon if everybody who does it 'round robins' it we're in with a chance! You gotta love a challenge! and now is the time to do it, what with all the related events in the media this year.
