I have EUPD as my main diagnosis and have been under the CMHT for nearly a year.
I have a care co-ordinator who is a social worker and an approved mental health practitioner (AMP) she comes and see's me every few weeks, or every week if I am more ill. I also now have a support time recovery worker with the CMHT, he takes me out and is getting me back into doing some things, like we went for a walk with him the other support worker and another CMHT patient around a reservoir. He can come round for a chat too if I am not up for going out, or he will come with me to activities to support me.
I am also being referred to the CMHT therapist as I quit the group therapy for people with personality disorders I was going to.

My CC is setting up a CPA (care plan approach) meeting with me , my psych, my support worker and her. She also helped me fill in my ESA medical form and said if I had to go for an assessment (which I luckily didn't) then she would come with me. She is also the person my GP contacts if she is worried about me, like my GP will be ringing my CC tomorrow to ask her to come and see me asap.
My psych see's me randomly, if I am more unwell then it will be sooner or if my CC feels like I need to see her then she will arrange it. but usuually I see my psychh every few months.

all I will say though is I had to fight for 3 years to get taken on by the CMHT and it was only really because I was sectioned for a second time and the nurses and psych on the ward really pushed for me to be taken on by the CMHT that I was taken on.
