Last week, Yasmin attended a meeting in Causeway Hospital with SOS Causeway regarding the closure of the Ross Thomson and what this means for the people of our community.
The SoS Causeway Hospital campaign has called for local voices to be heard on matters such as the closure of the Ross Thompson unit.
She said: ‘The voluntary and community sector across the Causeway Coast and Glens continues to play a vital role in providing mental health support services for many individuals.
“We recognise the importance of clear and consistent communication on critical issues such as the closure of the Ross Thomson Unit.
“Strengthening dialogue between all stakeholders will help ensure a collaborative approach that places the needs of our community at the forefront.
“The Zachary Geddis Trust welcomes the opportunity to be included in the next stages of discussion and planning.”
Campaigners said their meeting highlighted the need for improved communication, meaningful community involvement, and transparent planning around future mental health service provision.
Thank you to SOS Causeway for the invitation to the meeting.
