A Canberra mother who lost her son to suicide in 2010 is welcoming the new mental health services boost being introduced in the ACT.

 

Ben Williams who had chronic schizophrenia was forced to change doctors which was found to hinder his treatment.

 

Ben’s mother says "At times we felt really very alone and we were crying out for help at different times and there didn't seem to be any services that could help our needs."
