Community Home Intervention Team

I have been a patient here for many years if ever my care co-ordinators leave ( I have issues with trust) they always take the time to try and find me someone who they feel I will connect with and most of the time they do well and they understand it takes me a while to get used to them. They contact my family if they need to check up. They know I have difficulty trusting the crisis team and adjust my care accordingly. I've been well looked after Dr Walker has been great he listens and explains things clearly always asks my opinion and always at the end of an appointment asks if there's anything else he can help with. My meds are reviewed regularly. This is a very busy unit and due to constraints on the mental health service I think they do a good job, your always going to get some staff who aren't 100% but I've found over the years most are commited they have a good atmosphere and team enviroment and gel well. Whenever I've been in hospital my care co-ordinators have always visted regularly to check up. Psychologist Gill Green is absolutely committed to her DBT programme and runs it well you couldn't get anyone who cares more about DBT and is extremely knowledgeable she gives 100% and expects 100% back . It is difficult to get through after 4.30pm which can be a issue sometimes this could be looked at. Overall I've had a positive experience at the Goodall and I do feel they care.
