Hey Mark, I thought a lot about how to word you're email, and came up with this,
"Hi, I called you on the phone last week, about the possibility of visiting Mind at sometime, as suggested by my CPN and an OT I met at Ty Illtyd. When I rang you were quite helpful and reassuring, however one thing I forgot to ask was about self harm, and sleeve lengths, and if others are discreet about Self Harm?
I find my own Scars triggering, and am worried about being triggered by seeing the scars of others, I was wondering, if it would be possible, if anyone else who attends who has visible scars, may be asked if they’ll wear long sleeves, or try to keep their scars covered, as it’d make me feel much more comfortable.
I’m aware people can’t be forced to wear long sleeves, but I’d feel a lot better if I at least know they’d try to be discreet, I’d ring in advance to let you know I’m coming, if that helps. Can you please email me back and let me know.
Thank You, Regards
Mark"
Have a look and see what you think, if there is anything you feel you want to change, hopefully others will have a look too and see if it's ok, and if they feel there's anything that could be changed, or added, as I think it'd be great to know that others feel it'd be ok, and they don't think there's anything in there that shouldn't be.
Hope you're ok, and that this helps to at least get you confident enough to go check out Mind, especially as you're confident about it being out of the way a little :)
