"Disinterested and unconcerned"

My child attends CAMHS in addition to another Trust service.

They have been attending for several years.

My other child is also attending CAMHS.

This department is aware that I am a working single parent.

The department is fully aware of the difficulties that my children experience and how this has presented at home.  They are aware of the stress I am under.

It is very disheartening to note that my child's practitioners in CAMHS and in the Autism Team never ask how I am; given they know the aggression and hostility I experience.  I find this quite unbelievable as I am responsible for their welfare and creating a warm, safe and supportive environment.

When I ask questions or try to relay my point of view or experience I feel I am talked over, not allowed to finish and the question is rarely answered directly.

I am not only a parent but a carer and compassion, concern and understanding would make a big difference if demonstrated.

It always seems that they can't wait for the appointment to end and are disinterested and unconcerned to hear my point of view.
