Two Northern Irish women have called for increased investment into mental health services and described the impact that long delays and waiting lists have had on them.
Amber, 20, and Bobbie, 26, have both been involved with mental health services since they were children and have experienced difficulties over the years which they believe have caused further issues down the line that may not have developed if they received support sooner.
They have spoken to Belfast Live in order to highlight their concerns regarding the mental health services in Northern Ireland believing that urgent action is needed in order to save people's lives.
