I know it's hard question and i've been asked it a lot by my CMHT after i've complained.
I guess only
you know what you need from them but a few of the things I suggested to my CMHT were:
- Consistent regular appointments at the same time each week
- Honesty, I would rather know the truth then be lied to
- To be taken seriously when I ring them in crisis and not be fobbed off with hot bathes and knitting!
- To have a say in what therapy im offered
- To be told asap if my appointment has to be cancelled for whatever reason
I know they seem like the basics but it's amazing how often CPN's fail on these simeple things.
If you changed CPN do you know what you would want them to do differently? Quite often they all sing from the same book.
