Reading Audi

[Bit_evl]

Well this has come as a shock to me.

Disgusting in this day and age. I am not intending to make this reflect on Audi etc but the comment about them putting a suspect car on the forecourt and now this is worthy of investigation.

Absolutely dreadful and insensitive treatment of a young apprentice by many at the Reading dealership. By all accounts they continued at the inquest to dismiss their bulling behaviour and show little or no understanding of mental illness (that affects one in four people every year) and the consequences of their actions. Levels of suicide are greatest, in fact in the young/under 30 age group and four times higher in men than women! It is no surprise that it seems you virtually have to be caught trying to take your own life to get urgent help from ones NHS mental health trust. The time when help would actually be most useful is much earlier, as conditions in NHS departments of psychiatry, once you are sectioned, are dire. Would any members of RS246 wish to recover from a physical illness or injury, such as a broken leg, let alone depression, in an NHS psychiatry/mental health ward? - I don't think so! Part of the reason being that mental health occupies more of the NHS's resources than Cancer and Heart Disease combined, but gets just 10% of the budget. I hope that the rest of the staff at Reading never suffer from depression and certainly never become profoundly depressed /clinically ill themselves.

Awful.

But I must pick you up on needing to be virtually caught taking your own life to get help. I don't know where you live but the service is very different in my area thanks to a crisis team that can mobilise resources at an hour's notice when family, friends, GPs, social workers and others raise concerns. I cant speak for everyone but have personal experience of two such interventions in recent years both successful.

I'd sack all of them - this statement is laughable - W4nker! Having lost 2 friends who took their own lives

"George's line manager, Simon Wright, who admitted to playing a number of pranks on George, told the inquest: "I was in the workshop when a prank was played on George and he was set on fire.
"It did not go too far. We knew where to draw the line," he said.
"It was not bullying."

I'm with you Iain. I accept what you are saying MarkP, but I am writing from my own personal experience and on 3 occasions - not too many years ago years ago, once following the death of my wife from the most painful cancer imaginable when one daughter was three years old and the other 8 months, and another time having myself suffered two mini -strokes (TIAs) a few months earlier. It would have helped to have been warned that TIAs alter your brain and your life very often and you are much more likely to get depression. I love my job, but I am also in the profession with the highest rate of suicide (and alcoholism Im told), 4.1 times that of the general population. You must be lucky Mark if your health authority has good mental health care provision - its the exception sadly.

I am sorry to hear that. our service is run by 2gether Trust in Glos and has proved very effective for some - but far from infallible.

Not my local dealer, but if it was I would not set foot in there again.

I'm with you on that

Yep, I read this yesterday......very very sad and as for the others telling a person who is struggling to "go kill yourself" is never a joke to be said!! Shocked!!
