After the police having to intervene 3 times in a week, MHAATS agreed to actually see my wife, rather than give her bad advice over the phone.
She's diagnosed with cPTSD and BPD, and was told about attempting suicide - we can't stop you making that decision, but if you do you're leaving a legacy for your son, if you take your life, he probably will too. In my view, there is never, ever a good reason to say something like that to anyone.
Aside from that, being told to go to the gym after being pulled from the wrong side of a bridge, and after running from the house in distress with no shoes and only pyjamas on, being told that going for a walk is fine, but she should have taken her phone to save all the drama.
I'll not even get into the poor service at Woodlands, that can be saved for another post.
I've found the service absolutely terrible and I could go on! My wife has consistently engaged with services, but the moment she struggles, she's treated like a naughty child! Utterly disgusting, in my view.
