Jordan Jimenez+FollowDementia Patients Left in DangerDid you know NZ hospitals are putting dementia patients with severe psychiatric symptoms into regular medical wards because there aren’t enough specialist beds? Staff aren’t trained for this, and it’s leading to violence, assaults, and unsafe conditions for everyone. The government keeps cutting psycho-geriatric beds even as the need grows. It’s not just unsafe—it’s totally unethical. How is this still happening in 2024? #MentalHealthCrisis #DementiaCare #NZHealth #Health #MentalHealth62Share
herreradennis+FollowWhy Are Mental Health Patients Stuck in EDs?Mental health care in Australia is seriously broken—people in crisis are waiting days in emergency departments just to get help. Hospitals are overwhelmed, but community services are barely funded and often just check if you took your meds. There are proven solutions like safe havens, home support teams, and 24/7 mental health clinics, but they’re not being used enough. Imagine if we actually funded these alternatives—fewer hospital waits, more real support, and way better outcomes. Something’s gotta change! #MentalHealthCrisis #HealthcareReform #EDWaitTimes #Health52Share
