STORY 125

In 2023 worked for a local mental health charity who threatened me with an NDA after I was off sick with psychological stress due to how they had treated me. I did not sign the NDA , instead I wrote in a grievance and decided to go down the employment tribunal route. Sadly I’m aware of other colleagues with mental illnesses who they’ve treated badly who did sign an NDA and their lives have been impacted very negatively since, one lady has moved area and is on a higher medication dose due to how she was treated by them. In early 2025 I decided to resign from my role and continue to pursue my case with the courts, if mental health charities can abuse this power then no one is safe. Something needs to change to prevent this abuse happening to other people.
