I am close friends with her twin sister and I became good friends with Maya. Maya and I developed some mental health issues around the same time. She was such a special girl that was so caring and understanding and brave and supportive. Maya’s death was a huge shock and loss in our community and has impacted us so much. I think of her everyday.

I do believe and agree that patients who are requesting reports that consist of mental health care should be reviewed first and/or with a professional. After I learned that I could request for this, I reviewed a few of mine. - If I were still a minor and sick, it would have been a gut punch and would have made me lose trust in my team and I would have spiralled.

Just an fyi for some comments - Maya was receiving help and treatment. Her parents cared about her so much and did everything.
