🎥Trigger warning: This video discusses suicide, medical neglect, and fears of institutional cover-up. Please take care while watching. Mental health support helplines are listed at the end of the video. The Pain of Institutional Silence: This is the most vulnerable video I have ever made. It’s my final update documentary. After years of silence, this video is my last plea for help. It is a record of institutional neglect and my deepest fears about what happens when institutions abandon you and cover up the truth. Thank you for watching. Please don't allow their silence to be the final word. If you can, please share this. Silence protects institutions, but voices create change. #FeliciasCampaign #InstitutionalSilence #SystemicNeglect #MentalHealthCrisis #PatientSafety #NHSAccountability #SuicidePrevention #CQC #NHSEngland #DHSC #PatientVoices #diagnosticdelay To Regulators: This is my final video update on 12 years of institutional neglect, record disappearance, and falsification. Your duty is patient safety and audit. Please watch this video and use your institutional power to intervene before it is too late. @carequalitycomm @NHSEngland @GMCuk @prof_standards @DHSCgovuk @MoJGOVuk @theHSSIB @PHSOmbudsman @LGOmbudsman @SocialWorkEng @careEngland @NICEComms @ICOnews @TheBMA @UKHSA @RCSnews @IMMDSReview @nmcnews @LGAComms @NIMHgov @rpsych @theRCN @BPSOfficial @The_HCPC
