I used AAOT (Adolescent Assertive Outreach Team) for quite a while when I was discharged from Aquarius and it was very helpful in keeping me alive and out of hospital. This included DBT and having the care coordinator and support worker. It was an awful time and I am very grateful that I could have a service that helped my family and I and gave me the time I needed compared to Outpatient CAMHs.
The Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) was good and so was my care coordinator. Coming to my home was good too. One thing that could be improved is if more understandable language about my treatment was used.
