When Mental Health Becomes a Checkbox

🧠 AI Processing Reality...

“Are you safe?” – they ask with a clipboard. But it’s not a question — it’s a tick box.

Modern institutions like the NHS and school counselling services are filled with protocol — but lacking presence. And in this administrative jungle, real pain gets lost in paperwork.
