Today's Saturday Topic Thread was all about how to navigate GP visits / Mental and Physically Healthcare appointments.
Thank you so much to everyone who joined!
We had some really lively discussions, with lots of people sharing some really insightful reflections about:
- Why booking an appointment for mental health support can be daunting and how to tackle this
- What kind of support you can expect to receive when you speak to a GP about your mental health
- How to prep and care for yourself in the lead up to an appointment, during, and afterwards
- The challenges and positives of navigating the UK mental health system, including the NHS, CAMHS, counselling, and the charity sector
We wanted to create a space below where these conversations can continue....
What's your top-tip for navigating mental health appointments?
Got an appointment or a phone-call in the diary that you're nervous for and you'd like to ask your peers for some advice?
Lets jump in below and all support one another!
