A FORMER au pair from the Netherlands took her own life weeks after attending a walk-in centre to try and tackle her mental health problems, an inquest has heard. Gwen Oldekamp, from Heerlen in the Netherlands, was found dead at her home address in Blackburn Street, Radcliffe, on Christmas Eve after a long battle with mental health problems. The inquest at Rochdale Coroner’s Court heard how the 20-year-old had struggled with her mental health for many years and had confided with colleagues at Booking.com in late November, who recommended she go to a walk in centre. This led to her being seen at A&E at North Manchester General Hospital. Everyone she saw told her she needed to sign up to a GP for follow-up care and potential anti-depressant prescriptions.
