Review of care
I had been seen by psychology team in London and got discharged. I had a chat with MBs professional who realised that while i needed help I struggled to articulate my needs. This why I got discharged with no help. The MBs nurse re-refereed me back to the sane service and she attended the meeting online. After that I was given a psychologist and now accessing support. I think as black people we sometimes struggle to tell what our problem is due to cultural understanding of symptoms. Thanks MBs.. sorry I had to write the whole story. I’m sure it can help someone’s out there
