  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

    In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].

I may be getting sent to a treatment center but I have never been to something like that and need advice? Is it worth going? Is it scary? What happens there? How did it effect your family? Where u went/ suggestions, I know a lot of ppl say Newport Academy is good, has anyone ever been? What did people from your town/life say about it?

What is a treatment center? Is it something like a ward? A psychiatrist? I'm from Europe and not really familiar with that

It is a residental place you can go to that is kinda like a nursing home for people with mental health issues. Some say it has changed their lives others say it made them more suicidal. My friend who is at one now says she has learned to love herself and it is the best decision she made. They have 24/7 staff literally outside your room ready to help and you go to different tye of therapies and do regular fun activities and if u r still in school they do "mental health approved school." (school without the stress).

They exist in EU, but they are reserved for urgent casies. You often need admitted by a GP. I tried to get myself admitted once in my mid-20s. GP signed me off and everything, but they wouldn't take me, kicked me out and then removed me from the premises after I sat down for a smoke. That's just my experience though. I am certain that a lot of people have positive outcomes! They often have a range of therapies and an on-site psychiatrist for assessment and prescriptions

I'm sorry that happened to you, that's so horrible.

A lot of the people on Intervention have positive experiences of treatment centers after some time in.

I only know psych wards.

Hi, i am from europe,i have been in a lot of psychoterapic centers, and there are a lot of people whose life changed after hospitalization. Personally i got a new medication and it really helped getting better. I recommend to read reviews about the centers, and choose a center which is suitable for your problems . Not every center can help you i speak from experience. And if you go to a center which didnt, maybe you will feel even worse. So read a lot of reviews , ask from people on forums etc. There is really a chance that you will get better!
