People we support told us
- Recognising and respecting individual lived experience is paramount
- Communication can invariably be improved
- Involvement of carers and people's circles of support is key
- We need better support in the community, regardless of diagnosis
- Where we have to wait, support us to wait well
- There are too many fractures and interfaces between services and organisations and too many hand-offs and lengthy referrals
- We don't want to re-tell our whole story every time we see a different team
- Navigating the system is very difficult
- Neurodiversity issues are too often missed or misdiagnosed
- There are too many gaps between services
- We want to see a more holistic approach to mental and physical health
