I was struggling for a number of weeks and had a fair bit of contact with CAS ( crisis assessment service ) at my home and on the phone in particular Laurence. The way in which I was dealt with by everyone I spoke to was friendly, listened and didn't judge what I was going through. Laurence when he visited and spoke to me on the phone on 3 separate occasions listened and empathised and also passed comments around how far I had come and how I only contacted them when I was struggling. He agreed that I needed further Intervention and put me into ICS at Aire Court.
All the staff from the consultant to the cleaners were really supportive and empathic and amenable to my needs at the time. The situation that put me in there is difficult and emotional but all the staff, even those not on my team and actively working with me approached me with compassion and empathy with loads of support. I was admitted for 2 weeks and I can honestly say without them or CAS I hate to think what would have happened. I want to really say thank you to Lucy and Michaela for there time and constant support at a very difficult time even though the whole team did a fantastic job, even when they were run off their feet.
