What Mental Health Help !!!!

What Mental Health Help !!!!

Good moning again ,

Well yestaerday`s meeting was a total waste of time again just like the last meeting with my Husband`s LAZY mental health worker. In six weeks since my husband was in hospital we have had two meetings , which the health worker has said -- just take the tablets and come back in three weeks , yesterday the health worker said -- you need to change how you think and made another meeting in two weeks time , that`s it .!!!!! thank a lot , he is no help at all , my husband doesn`t want to go back anymore .

they don`t know everything that is happening but they were very supportive when their dad was in Hospital, their dad has been in hospital before when the children were in their teens , it was not bad this time which is good , it was tough on the daughter who is the closest to dad and the oldest .

my Husband rings up his children every wekend which is wonderful , If they miss his call they usually ring him back or text me .

Hi @NikNik I just saw that I wrote my last comment wrong , I usually remind him to ring his children now and then . But since my husband has been in hospital the family don`t want to tell him things in case he gets upset -- it make me feel alone sometimes and sad with the lack of communication .

Oh Shaz it never ends does it!!!!???? I have been thinking about your lazy mental health worker as we have encountered many of them over the years and what I have found most effective is if you contact the manager of that mental health team.......or better still ring the secretary or whoever mans the desk and ask for the name and number of the person who is the boss of their boss.......then make a call as well as send an email as they will then have to investigate and it will get filtered down to the manager and then of course the caseworker!!!!!In my eyes it is the only way, we have to make a stand otherwise things will never change!!! Good luck!!!!!

Hello @Attahua

How are you today ?

Thank you for your message , I have learnt to speak up more , well we have had 2 new caseworkers since the lazy one .

I like the last one but now my husband has cancelled all help

In response to: Re: What Mental Health Help !!!!

Re: What Mental Health Help !!!!

Oh no why has he cancelled all help??? Although I do understand as mine has a tendency when all is going well to have as little contact with the team as possible but in my eyes they are the ones that need to persevere as 1 it's their job and 2 if a client is on a CTO I am sure they are obligated to again, do their job!!! But hey I may be wrong!!!! I have inquired into how much input the caseworker should have but depending on who you talk to depends on the answer you get!!!FRUSTRATING!!!
