Has anybody got recent experience with Living Well Consortium (Birmingham)?
Hi, I'm an over 50 heavily suicidal man. My GP has referred me to the Home Treatment Team. I asked to be referred to talking therapy and the team referred me to the Living Well Consortium.
Apparently, the waiting list is about 6 to 8 weeks, which is not good in itself (I've already gone to a PDU once). But what worries me is that the reviews are not very good and I have also been told that I'd get 6 to 8 weeks of treatment, after which I'll be discharged and then I'd have to wait 12 weeks to self-refer me again. I find this very worrying.
Has anybody any recent, direct experience with the Living Well Consortium ?
Otherwise, should I look for private therapy? I wouldn't know where to start. My case is quite complex and I worry that private therapist wouldn't want to deal with such a deep case.
