      I moved cantons and I can’t get a psychologist to even call or write me back. I feel lucky that I have to travel 2 hours to see my old one at least…better than nothing.

      I have nothing but admiration for the mental health teams here in Fribourg. The care and empathy and support they gave my son was amazing and they were always there for him. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough and it eventually got the better of him but in no way do I blame anyone here.

      I was speaking to someone who supports suicidal teens in the UK and there is a 6 month waiting list to,see a doctor when a child expresses suicidal thoughts…… 6 months !
