If you were assigned a care co-ordinator, then the origional training of that person could vary, OT's, social workers and CPN's all fill this role.
I have had a social worker in the past, and 3 different CPNs.
Since they work in a multi-disciplinery team, and have regular team meetings, its normal to have a care co with any of these backgrounds, they can consult with others over your care very easily anyway.
In adult services, only one out of the 4 care-co's did I particularly like, she was a CPN. The social worker I had was a cold hard bitch, but I have found support workers to be very nice. I would say the main thing is do you get on with this person. That's the biggest factor in my experiance as to what sort of help they'll be for you.
Give the new person a try, they might be really nice.
