## Resource

A tragic inquest reveals systemic failures at a Bristol mental health unit likely contributed to the death of 17-year-old Lucy Curtis, who died five days after being found unresponsive. Despite early struggles with mental health and repeated pleas for help, Lucy faced delays in care, was discharged from a voluntary unit amid worsening self-harm, and later admitted to Riverside Adolescent Unit — where critical observation lapses occurred. Her parents argue her death was preventable, and the trust is now implementing reforms and planning a new unit to honor her legacy.
