A friend of mine experienced a mental health crisis - it was really worrying, and I feared for their safety. I've spent most of the weekend with them. Because of what had happened I took them to the Northern General Accident and Emergency where they saw two nurses, Nicola and Helen, from the mental health team there. I really want to record how brilliant they were. So caring and helpful, and they spent ages with my friend, and also talked a lot to me. They put in place a plan which was really good, and the next day, Dawn from the Home Treatment team came out to see my friend twice as well as speak to them on the phone. She also was wonderful, and incredibly caring and helpful. She managed to get a new medication prescribed for them, and also put in place some plans for the week. Thank you so much to Nicola, Helen, and Dawn - you are fantastic people.
