"Very “one size fits all”"

About: Change Grow Live / CGL Manchester

Would like to echo a previous review I just read about this service not being suitable for anyone who is on the autistic spectrum or neurodivergent. I’m sure they help lots of people but I encountered a very one size fits all approach that I found very frustrating and completely unsuitable for my own needs. I of course can’t speak for others and it is genuinely warming to see so many positive reviews here but if you have complex mental health needs, I would advise you to proceed with extreme caution at cgl Manchester. There used to be a thing here called the dual diagnosis service for such complex cases and sadly this no longer exists due to funding cuts which is a shame. Cgl are picking up the slack from that and whilst I don’t think it’s their fault as an organisation, my views remain strong; that cgl is largely unsuitable for anyone with complex mental health needs, prolonged mental illness and anyone of a neurodivergent disposition
