"CONNECT Eating disorders service. terrible service"

If you know what is good for you, if it is recovery you are hoping for this service will no doubt shatter that hope. The staff lack empathy, they lack understanding and care. if you are looking for patient focused care, you will most definitely not find it with this service. I found the staff to be extremely judgemental and "cold" . My thoughts were not respected nor did my opinions regarding my own treatment respected, though they were recovery focused. the lack of care and the lack of patient focused care is appalling. no hope for recovery was given to me, instead they made me feel powerless. I found the team were unable to work collaboratively, rather they made the decision and I was expected to go along with them, not ask any question nor have any objections/different suggestions regarding my own care and treatment. I for one am shocked that this service is as bad as it is. basing treatment on BMI is also not Okay. it is not okay to offer/decline treatment based on a number. i would not recommend Connect to anyone. services like Connect choose to have short catchy names, to make themselves sound appealing,

I suspect. Connect do not connect, they disconnect. disengage you from the service, place barriers in the way of your recovery then are quick to say "you are not ready for recovery"
