‘DAMO’S LAW©’ PETITION: SAVING THE LIVES OF LOVED ONES WHO ARE AT IMMINENT RISK OF SUICIDE AND/OR PERCEIVED HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION WITHIN THE HEALTH SYSTEM!
DAMO'S LAW INC ©
Welcome to Damo's Law Inc ©
Hi my is Tessa in 2016 I lost my brother Damien to suicide, Damo lived with serious and persistent mental illness. Damo, I, and my family pleaded for help when Damo was really unwell. Often our pleas for help fell on deaf ears. After 30 plus attempted suicides, and not feeling heard or taking seriously by the mental health system Damian's, attempts of suicide was achieved. Damo died on 5th December 2016 aged 32. So that he didn't die in vain, and to protect community members and to prevent anyone else from going through what Damo went through, I have created a petition to pass a new law helping people who are at imminent risk of suicide to immediately access help. We need your help now. Please sign our petition to get Damo's Law Inc© passed.
‘DAMO’S LAW INC©’ PETITION: SAVING THE LIVES OF LOVED ONES WHO ARE AT IMMINENT RISK OF SUICIDE AND/OR PERCEIVED HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION WITHIN THE HEALTH SYSTEM!
At ‘Damo’s Law©’ petition has been designed to introduce a new suicide prevention mental health law named ‘Damo’s Law©’. Damo's Law© will immediately implement a second opinion to support our loved ones at ‘imminent risk of suicide.’ ‘Damo’s Law©’ will be initiated when a person with a mental health issue, their family members, carers or advocates are not satisfied with decisions made by the responding mental health staff, and they believe that the person’s life is in imminent danger. Here at Damo's Law©, we know that sometimes all it takes to change the world is a little support. Since our founding in 2016, we have been determined to make an impact.

DAMO'S STORY
Saving Lives By Taking Action
My name is Damian Sarich (Damo).
I was born on May 14th, 1984. I died sadly died by SUICIDE.
I HUNG myself on December 5th, 2016. My mum found me. I was 32 years old.
I was diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia, and I suffered for 5 years
with the demons inside my head...
I thought people were going to kill me on a daily basis...
I even thought my own family was going to kill sometimes... I just wanted it to stop...
I wanted to kill myself before they tortured me.
MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM LET ME DIE.
Community Mental Health had seen me regularly. I had about 30 attempts at suicide with my mental state of mind. I was in and out of the wards. It was needles, pills, more needles, and more pills.
I don’t think they worried about me anymore. At the time of my death, I had been off my medication for a while as I was trying to stabilize. I had gone away for 2 months, but I was not doing so well. I was not with reality.
Things happened and I was no longer with reality at all. I had 2 visits with the Community Mental Health workers
in a couple of weeks I stayed with my sister. I told the workers I was going to kill myself.
I told my sister I was going to kill myself. I was not with reality, to the point I thought I had not seen my sister in 10 years. It had only been 8 weeks. Community Mental Health walked away and left me there twice. My mum returned from the hospital so I went to be with my mum. My mum rang and tried to get me admitted in the last 5 days I was here on earth, but Community Mental Health was still not listening. I think my family members would know me a lot better than them, but they weren’t listened to. Community Mental Health only came to give me more pills or needles. You didn’t actually care that I was lost, broken, torn, confused, scared, or alone. My mind shredded into millions of fears all coming at me at once and I couldn’t stop them. The thoughts were telling me how they’re going to torture me and how they will kill me. I didn’t want to be here anymore. Make them stop! Why won’t you make them stop Mental Health? Why won’t you help me? Why do you think it’s just in my head? Why is it not real? It’s as real to me as my coffin was to you.
Now, do you see how real it was? Now, do you see I couldn’t stop it? I needed to be kept safe.
I needed to leave before they hurt me. I told you I was going to 'KILL MYSELF' and you let me.
You knew I wasn’t OK but you walked away anyway because I’m not your son, brother, dad, daughter, or sister
so you didn’t care if I DIED. One less case for you to worry about. Well, guess what? I DID DIE.
I HUNG myself where my mum was left to find me lifeless. You could have prevented this from happening if you had just listened to my family! You didn’t listen to me because of my mental
state of mind. Even in those last 5 days, if you had listened to my family, I could possibly still
be ALIVE as I would have been kept safe where I couldn’t hurt myself. Why didn’t you listen?
Will you listen now that I’m gone? Please help save our loved ones...
