Presentation transcript:

Leeds Involving People (LIP) is a centre of expertise on involvement, connecting lived experience with service improvement since 1995. LIP is a user-led organisation, independent of service provision. We have over 700 members. Together We Can is LIP’s mental health project, with over 160 members. Our members co-authored the Leeds Mental Health Framework and are now active in developing details.

What is crisis care in Leeds really like for us?   Service-user perspectives gathered by Together We Can October 2014

Survey Responder September 2014.  “Feeling so much inner tension and desperation and so much fear that it feels like I can snap - like I am hurtling towards something so scary unless I 'come down' and get help.” Survey Responder September 2014.

Key Messages Every conversation we had with our friends and peers told an individual story, but there are five recurring themes: Resolve and prevent crisis by addressing non-medical causes (housing, benefits, social issues) in a joined-up way. Treat people in crisis with patience, respect and dignity. Provide mental health support for people approaching crisis point and have coexisting issues like drugs and alcohol. Provide appropriate places of safety by adequately skilled staff; there is a real need for a crisis assessment unit independent of A&E. Extend opening hours within community settings for better accessibility.

What do people need in crisis? A Place of Safety “I was left to get on with my crisis on my own, with a family member whose idea of helping me recover was to drag me out furniture shopping. I ended up wandering around the Park, drinking to block out the pain and contemplating sleeping under a hedge because I couldn't face going home.” Someone to talk to “... I phoned up the crisis team once and after going through the switch board I was put through to someone to talk to about my distress but the person was just trying to make me laugh and was making fun of me which I didn’t need or want. This has put me off asking for help again...” Attitudes “Crisis assessment was patronising, negative with no empathy. Some of the crisis assessment team are superb but only around 15 percent of them, the rest are dire. I was told they'd phone me back when I'm not distressed!”

Recommendations – 5 key themes 1. Expansion of existing services Mental health problems can often be worse at night-time and weekends when everything is closed and there are no support services available. 2. Communication between staff and agencies Communication between staff and different agencies was highlighted as a problem in more than a few cases. People reported being reluctant to contact a service through fear that they’d be then not allowed to access another. Use of the care-plans and advance statements was also brought up, with the feeling that staff were not reading them adequately or in some cases not using them at all.

Recommendations – 5 key themes 4. Needs of Dual Diagnosis It would be really helpful to have someone sat with patients in A&E whilst they’re withdrawing, or the offer of Librium, or even a private room where patients can be with someone who is able to help take their mind off their withdrawal. 3. Alternatives to A&E/police custody People responded by stating they would prefer to be seen in a community based setting with a non-clinical feel. When asked of their ideal vision of crisis care, people responded with ideas of a house like setting that was bright and welcoming, catering for diverse needs. 5. Adequate benefits support Benefits cuts and inadequate support in claiming benefits was highlighted as a massive trigger for crisis episodes. Services that offer support and information around benefits to advertise this so that people can be signposted to areas of support.
