Social and Mental Health Care Inhumanity

[Andrew Batty]

Hi All,

       Creative Support are a social care organisation specialising in mental health work. They provide

supported accommodation to people with mental illness such as schizophrenia, amongst they're services.

 

Seven years ago after three years of being in their so called care, I left it and returned to living in the

wider community in ordinary social housing. One thing I didn't like or need in Creative Support accommodation

was the "supervision" that they're staff performed of almost anything and everything in life. Creative

Support staff gain, I believe, an illegal supervisory status over their tenants by having a means of entry to

the tenants flat from the outside which the tenant cannot prevent from inside. This "life and limb

responsibilty is more safe in our hands than your own" trick is misused to illegally elevate ordinary support

workers to direct supervision of consciousness in what seems like a very falsely inequal relationship.

 

This sounds like paranoia/persecutory delusion perhaps but you also feel under "care" in that it deadens your

feelings more than noticably. Most of the staff are gay/lesbian community types and they also seem to

deliberately kill heterosexual "sympatica" or sympathetic resonance (love) feelings when they occur in

clients. It's a continuous experience of being "fucked over" while in supposed care.

 

This phenomena seems to have become widespread in social care since I left Creative Support's flat seven

years ago. This "deadening" caused by being "under" care. It's inhuman. This is besides the destructive and

violatory intrusions of "care management" into otherwise sound consciousness and mental health. It's like

being "reaped" of feelings by parasitic agents of abuse.

 

The NHS never puts itself above any of us, not even with parenteral administration of medication where

needed, not usually anyway.

I would also add that I am a parent and that I have been apologised to by my NHS psychiatrist for being “put” in Creative Support accommodation. I think ALL parents should have the legal status “carer” in the UK. I also generally and personally do not thrive with day to day interference and support workers buffering me in my relationships with anyone.

Thanks for a brilliant, constructive and well considered post. I have
similar experience as a close relative of a 'nutter' and I share your
exhaustive exasperation.

One question: how can I help?
