I thought crisis teams were supposed to be on hand every minute of every day when somebody experiencing a mental health problem is in crisis. Several times now we have had to ring crisis teams for them not to turn up or not answer.
This resulted in us having to phone 999 which resulted in a riot team, normal policeman, but nothing which was actually going to assist the person.
He ended up being arrested when really he needed to see a member of the mental health team/ crisis team.
I think these services are a disgrace, i shouldn't have to hear the stigma of people saying he's a psycho and so on. The services need to be on hand.
