As if my trust issues weren't bad enough...
I rant on and on on here all too often about how we need a better mental health system that actually helps people with their actual problems. But the truth is that even if such a service was up and fully-functioning tomorrow, I would probably be immensely reluctant to go near it, because at the end of the day, your placing your trust in other humans to behave ethically and honorably. And, IME, people who are capable of conducting themselves in such fashion are in very short supply. Personally, I can't recall meeting even one in my lifetime.

Yeah @greenpea
I guess we can only expect (hope) that the majority of providers are doing the right thing
(But it seems we can never get complacent about that)

Holy crap! I had to stop reading and meditate as I was getting triggered (stuff all sleep ahead for me tonight). Seeing the pictures of the living conditions gave me flashbacks of what I had been exposed to when I worked for a charity (and why I'm now on a disability pension, I won't go into details as I don't want to identify them). Those poor people living in those conditions, and those poor investigators that were also exposed to such appalling things.
