Mental Health Monday

28-05-2024 • 29分

Mick is joined by Ellen Roome on this week's podcast.

Ellen's son Jools Sweeney died suddenly in 2022, he was aged 14.

A coroner ruled they couldn't register his death as suicide, because there we no signs he intended to take his life. The narrative verdict has left Jools' family with many questions.

Ellen's now looking for answers through his social media - to see if that offers any insight into why he's no longer with us, but she's not allowed to access Jools' data.

She launched a petition calling for parents to have the right to access their child's social media information and is asking parents to support her cause to create #JoolsLaw.

You can support the petition here and use #JoolsLaw on social media

Signposting services are included at the end of each episode of the Mental Health Monday Podcast.
