Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust - Trust HQ

They're okay but I didn't make the most of the service as I find it hard to talk about my mental health so I didn't get the support but I don't feel like I need it now.

I have been waiting for over 5 months for counselling for PTSD. I had my initial assessment but not heard anything since. Very disappointing and frustrating, it takes a lot to reach out and ask for help and then no help is forthcoming.

Perinatal mental health service is really good. Quite flexible so will let me change appointments and adopt the sessions to make it supportive for that day.

The talking therapies service available through the NHS is fantastic. They got me through a very difficult, challenging and depressing time. The staff were fantastic, they were dedicated, committed and always very helpful.

A closed shop and pathological culture which is obsessed with optics rather than honesty and accountability. Needs a good clear out.

Inaccessible. Line busy all the time. Impossible to answer their phone call appointment because they never call on time. Make anxious people even more anxious.

They're really good. They call me once a week for a welfare check and if I need anything they can help with they will. They also send emails which is nice to check in as well as calls. They're very supportive.

We have had family therapy at the Uffculme centre. If every parent going through a rubbish time had this support it would be great.

I was seeing a Dr at Longbridge, he was a very good doctor. I phoned and asked for a letter for a PIP assessment and was told he had left, and more doctors were coming soon. In that time, I really went downhill but there is no point calling duty for help, they can't help you, and if you aren't actively suicidal there's nothing they can do anyway. I stopped leaving the house as much, not going out to food shop, I don't have the energy to make food and watching tv brings no enjoyment, just background noise. I am waiting for talking therapy too, that has been 8 months so far. I phoned the service to ask when I would get a doctors appointment as I know I should get a physical health check with the medication too. She just said 'you aren't down for an appointment'. So I am supposed to see a psychiatrist every 3 months and haven't been seen for what is coming up to a year. I could be dead and no-one would know

They are looking into getting me some face to face appointments as I see a psychiatrist regularly.
