HELP!!!
I'm spending tomorrow afternoon with some students studying Community Mental Health. I will be there to give them the Service Users perspective, and what kind if care and help we find really good, and that that we find bad.
I'm looking for examples to be able to give them.. Both positive and negative.. I want to be able to show them the things that make us feel unsafe and un-responsive.
But I also want to be able to say - there are things we find really good, and if you treat us good, we will be more responsive to you and treatment, and easier to deal with.In my head we want to be treated with respect. To not be treated like we are thick, just because we are ill. That we can make decisions on our own care. And also that we are seen as individuals, not as a problem that needs dealing with.
Any experiences you have had would be a great help to me. I won't name anyone, and won't even tell them about babble..
Thanks everyone.. and sorry for such short notice!
