uk crisis team question

[twinkletears]

ive spoken to them before, but i was wondering when they say about coming to your house to talk do you have to meet in your house because i live at home with my parents and i cant tell them whats going on in my head, so thats my question, can you meet them in a place other than your home???

Many thanks

I don't know if you can meet them outside of your home, I think that's part of the point of it, to see how you're feeling and stuff in your home environment but I can't be sure.
They always came to my house, they ask a few questions and don't stay longer than like 10 minutes. So if they can't meet outside of your house then consider taking them into another room and see if you can get that past your parents, they don't stay like an hour and it's not a permanent arrangement. But of course it's your situation and do what you feel comfortable with.
Give them a ring and ask them if you really don't feel you can see them at home.

thanks for the reply i just feel i wouldnt beable to open up to them if my parents are there as they would probably be listening in and then critise me!! But yeh i may give them a ring to find out
thank you

Aw, I'm sorry you'd feel that your parents would do that.
They may say you can meet nearby or maybe you could go there. If not, ask if they could possibly arrange something else for you as you obviously need to talk, that's why that service was arrange in the first place. Don't let them just say no and leave you on your own.

I've seen crisis team before and it wasn't at home. They try to do what's best for you. I think that seeing you at home is the ideal but if that isn't feasible then they will find a different place - they did for me.

I have seen the crisis team at the hospital never at my own house , but my dad has seen them at home but i think its because he lived so far away from the hospital .
I hope you get the help you are needing

My crisis team nearly always met me in public places e.g. Cafes, parks, and even a supermarket once! I think it varies a lot depending on your team and your care plan etc.

When I tried the crisis team once they offered to find a cafe somewhere (which in reality didnt work out as there isnt one near me), but they offered to go to the park that is about a 3 min walk.

So I would talk to them again - the situation is more complicated when you live with your parents, and you either dont feel comfortable talking when they are there, or is hard to get some privacy (especially if your parents dont know your diagnosis or dont know of your mh problems). Or if your parents are over the top and make your situation worse. If you explain that you are not happy them meeting at your parents house, the crisis team may be able to be more flexible about where they meet you face to face. At least that way you are proving you are trying to work with them, rather than them think you are ignoring them and potentially getting more worried.
