"Mental health"

About: Crisis Mental Health / Single point of access team (SPA) & Emotional Wellbeing Service (EWS)

(as a service user),

I found this service is so bad it's unreal. I've waited two years for an assessment, got one and then was never told what's happening. Two years I avoided getting my own therapy and help because I was waiting on this. Just to call them up to ask what's happening - then be told to call my GP. I feel like this is an absolute sham of a service, it has actually been a great disservice to my mental health.

I myself have struggled with suicidal thoughts from being a child and this has put me in a deep, deep hole which I now have to drag myself out of. I have to look around and pay for a therapist, which I can't afford so I'll probably be putting myself in debt. But if I don't get help soon I'm scared I will just give up. The lives of many can be ruined by this type of thing, including mine.
