Roman Kemp voiced his concerns to the government over their lack of action towards suicide prevention in a heartfelt letter on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old radio broadcaster posted a screenshot of his note that he penned and attached his signature to on Wednesday to his Instagram account.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He added a caption containing helpful resources to the upload that read: \u2018If you have ever been affected by any of the topics in this letter @joesbuddyline.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
The letter to the country\u2019s ruler pleaded with them to take suicide more seriously and appoint \u2018someone willing to provide the help\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roman explained that the UK\u2019s mental health issues were \u2018at a record high\u2019 and urged that \u2018it\u2019s time to treat it like the pandemic that it is\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He revealed in his note: \u2018At the age of 15, I was diagnosed with depression and experienced suicidal thoughts for the first time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Proper support needs to be in place for those who need it, and the sad reality is that in 2023, it\u2019s often individuals and charities who are trying to cover the gaps in a system that is becoming increasingly overwhelmed.\u2019<\/p>\n
The star continued outlining where he felt the government\u2019s shortcomings were and what needed to be done.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roman wrote: \u2018The current target leaves children across the UK in a lottery as to whether or not someone is there to help them.<\/p>\n
\u2018I believe that increasing this number could swiftly provide life saving help and support to young people who are struggling.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
He signed off his two-page letter with a plea for the people in charge to begin making changes in the sector.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He urged: \u2018I am pleading with the government to commit to a target of 100% of schools having MHSTs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018I am not pressing for a target date, merely asking for that commitment to be made, with proper review and determination.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fans praised the star in the comments under his post and left words of admiration for his stance on the matter.<\/p>\n
One said: \u2018Well said. When you ask for help you quickly realise there simply isn\u2019t much at all if any.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018A lot have a one-size-fits-all approach which simply doesn\u2019t work especially in the cases of trauma as no experience is the same and no person reacts to it in the same way someone else would.\u2019<\/p>\n
Another noted: \u2018Well said. Mental health services are seriously lacking in this country for everyone. Well done Roman. More high profile people should get behind you on this.\u2019<\/p>\n
