The Care Quality Commission want to hear about your experiences and knowledge of the help, care and support provided during a mental health crisis.
As part of this work, they would like to hear from:
- people who have had personal experience of a mental health crisis and tried to get help for it in the last two years.
- people who have cared for others going through a crisis in the last two years.
- groups or organisations that work with people who have experienced a crisis and/or have an interest in the quality of crisis care in their local area.
Some of the areas they want to hear about include:
- the care received from GPs, hospitals, community mental health services or ambulances.
- the support given by other professionals during a crisis (such as the Police or Approved Mental Health Professionals).
You can respond by filling out a questionnaire. This questionnaire closes on 30 April 2014.
