Client G is a community client who suffers with complex post-traumatic stress disorder from historical abuse. G was having difficulties in obtaining her weekly prescriptions from a CMHT Clinic. G has medication that has to be ordered by her chemist as it is one they do not keep in stock. G also wanted to have a Tenant support worker to help her with her housing issues. G has suffered from historical abuse and finds it hard expressing herself in assessments. G requested support at her ESA medical assessment.
Due to G’s complex post-traumatic stress disorder from childhood abuse, G found it hard to express herself without getting upset and angry with others.
Also due to G suffering post-traumatic stress disorder, finding a suitable place to meet people has always been an issue. G felt that the CMHT clinic were not listening or helping her. G stated that she has had the same problems for months and nothing has changed.
G said that without the help of an advocate they did not think that anything would have changed. However now with the advocacy support G has received, she feels as though she can move forward with her life.
