Difficulty in accessing mental health staff
Some aspects of this service are great..I have a great Support,Time & Recovery worker who’s supported me over a number of years. The difficulty I have is in accessing other mental health professionals when needed. I do not at this point need a permanent CPN but I would like to be able to access one or two named nurses when I’m in crisis or heading towards it. I find it virtually impossible to approach Duty services and talk to someone I don’t already know when I’m unwell. If this were ever possible it would help me better manage my own mental health.
