My crisis team are wonderful I feel very blessed to have them 🌸

Just found this channel today after looking for mental health channels and looking at your older videos. It’s a brilliant channel and really clear to understand and I’m so glad to have found it x

well the first Crisis team I experienced was awful didn't care at all but then I moved to Somerset and I found the crisis team to be a wonderful bunch of people. soi think they really wanted to help me so not all Crisis teams are bad there are ones like in Somerset that really do care about people I mean if someone is working the health and social care sector and they're not a caring person there in the wrong job because I think years ago when people got trained as nurses say they were taught to have compassion and really care about people but now it's not required but this is the sector i want to be involved with because I think to truly have empathy for others with mental health issues you have to have experience of mental health whether it's personal or Weather you have helped a family member with those issues so yeah i think from experience it depends where you live as to the quality of the crisis team.

Hi Matthew, you are so right, it really depends on where you live. I'm pleased that the services in Somerset were helpful and supportive for you. I agree that people in this sector need to demonstrate compassion and empathy and I also agree with you that the only people that can fully understand are those that live with mental illness. Thanks for adding to the conversation. Take care x

The Cant be Arsed Team more like!

I found this really interesting- I'm a student mental health nurse and am starting a placement with the crisis team soon, so it was good to hear all of this information, plus it's been really useful reading all of the comments, I can see some themes with both the positive and the negative, thanks for sharing everyone ❤

the police and crisis team have been good to me i now have an AMHP meeting tomorrow

I get the same ha not good

I seriously don't know what the "crisis team" do, they don't provide emotional support for distress... And er... That's it. They did once come out for a few days for two mins a day to see me take a pill.... I have asked what help they actually do provide, but was not given an answer, just told to ring them if i need help. Well help with what? My laundry? I mean obviously i thought you rang them if you became distressed to the point of a "crisis" but i was wrong, they aren't there for that. So.... What else do they do?

Hi, thanks for your comment. The Crisis Team are there to prevent you going into hospital. Often we get into crisis and need to be admitted if we are deemed unsafe to ourselves or those around us. For others being hospitalised isn't necessary so the crisis team step in and provide support so you don't have to be admitted. They are supposed to monitor you to make sure you are safe, and in my experience they have provided support over the phone. I'm sorry that your experience is different and I'm sorry that they haven't given you any emotional support over the phone. I hope you get well soon, being at crisis point can be scary, but you will get there my friend, good luck on your journey. I'm sending hugs. Take care. Gem

I've always struggled with feeling like even when I am at crisis point that because I am still able to take care of myself (showering , brushing my teeth, getting dressed etc) with my anxiety and depression I feel like I'm wasting their time because I don't feel like I'm ill enough even though I know deep down that I do struggle significantly with my mental health

I currently deal with the community mental health team. I never heard of them or the crisis team before.

I've rung the Leeds crisis team in distress many times before desperate for help. They have flat out told me that they can't do anything. They said they offer no urgent services. They just keep putting the phone down. I've ended up in hospital before because of supposed mh services and everyone just fobs me off.

I had such a bad experience with them on Friday i went to my gp who my lovely and she put me through to the crisis team. I need help now and they have put me down for CBT and that's going to take weeks or even months they said that I wasn't a high priority even though I'm sucidal they are crap so I'm probably going to go to a and e and see if they can help.

I just got off the phone with the crisis team well actually they hung up on me for no reason just hung up

That's awful, I'm so sorry you have gone through this. I hope that you manage to speak to them today and I hope they help you. Every crisis team is different and some are better than others. I'm just sorry to hear that your experience hasn't been so good. Please keep me updated my friend and I hope you get the help you deserve. Take care. Gem x

That is shocking! I can't believe your GP said that and actually thinks that. I'm sorry you were told that and that you didn't get the support you need. I wish more people had a better understanding of mental illness, especially professionals. Take care of yourself. Massive hugs x

Thank you Gem, another GP at the surgery has been brilliant so I'll go and see her tomorrow... Swings and roundabouts. I agree, I suppose we just have a long way to go. Hope you're having a nice evening. Hugs x

I found a lot of them be patronising ans unsympathetic, telling me 'what can we do'???? No support, no help,I just got sick of them:and haven't rung since!!!!!

Crishit team really they rang me the day after I was released from a police 136 and I told them I was going to self harm and she turned around and said we don't deal with that and put the phone down
