"Laughing stock"

Like me and many others around me we have all had really bad experiences. From extremely long waiting times (2 years for some) to being ignored and having our side of our stories twisted just so they can try to take our parents away. They really dont care at all. If they see someone who has more than minor anxiety and depression they just seem to ignore them completely and wait till they are 18 to just ditch them. When you eventually get to talk to someone most of them talk down to you as if you have a learning disability even if you are a fully functioning human being. There is this nasty aura about them. Ive been to two countys versions of camhs and they are all as bad as each other. It needs to be shut down before they ruin any other childs lives. A nation of children and teenagers are literally begging you to stop this organisation. It does so much more harm than good

Thanks for taking the time to feedback about our Oldham Healthy Young Minds team. We are really sorry to hear that your experience was not as positive as we would hope and that you have endured such long waits to access the team. It would be good if you could contact our Patient Advice and Liaison service (PALs) on 0161 716 3178 or by email to pals.penninecare@nhs.net so that they can look into this in more detail for you and see what's happened and why you have waited so long.
