The health board finally agreed to conduct the full review we asked for. This result belongs entirely to the 617 of you who kept pushing when it felt like nobody was listening. We will keep watching to ensure these changes actually reach the people who need them.

Seeing the count climb toward five hundred is truly overwhelming and I am struck by how many of you care about this. This momentum belongs entirely to the people who chose to speak up. If we can reach that milestone now it will be impossible for them to ignore us during the upcoming review.

I am honestly overwhelmed to see the count reach one hundred signatures today. This is purely a reflection of your own concern for our community because I never imagined this many people would join the call for change.

I tried to get changes made 5 years ago when my son killed himself. Obviously nothings changed. Appear to have had meetings only to pacify me and other parents

I lost my son to suicide after many years of poor care and treatment from NHS Tayside. He suffered terribly as there is NO ACCOUNTABILITY - the government should be conducting an urgent review, too.

I lost my Mum to suicide at the age of 16 in 1999 due to her being let down by mental health staff and ive also lost several friends to suicide also, I believe appropriate action needs to be taken to help people suffering from mental health problems.

I feel strongly about this cause as I have a family member who turned to suicide I feel there is no care nor support in Dundee and this needs to change before more and more families have to go through this heartache
