WITH US NOT YOU

I resigned from a managment post due to the dreadful behaviour of senior management in Scotland Local service managers are fine but the hierarchy in Glasgow are on an ego trip Barefaced lies to me and then ignored me when I tried to pursue this for answers Exit interview a complete waste of time with no outcome At least I only wasted 2 years with them AVOID unless you re unemployable elsewhere

DISAPPOINTED - OFFERS SERVICES THAT DONT EXIST CBT

Following my initial complaint about the poor experience with WeAreWithYou Service I received a phone call on the afternoon of 28th of February 2023 At this instance I have completely lost hope in this service as it seems like a complete waste of time The lady that spoke to me said that wearwithyou does not offer Trauma based CBT to victims of Domestic Violence and she was surprised that someone in their service had referred me that She insisted that she was sorry and would facilitate staff training to address this and to avoid this mistake of wrong services being offered to occur again Firstly Domestic Violence affects 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men it is a very COMMON and not so strange occurrence Most victims of Domestic violence experience Trauma and a good percentage develop PTSD or Complex PTSD In 2019 I was assessed by Think Action now Wearewithyou and referred for Trauma based CBT which they supposedly offered Unfortunately I only had Talking therapy Again in 2022 I was referred again to Now WeAreWithYou assessed and noted that I had high level trauma and in fact PTSD and required Trauma based counseling It it laughable that a senior member and practioner rang me and CLAIMED that this is an error as they do NOT offer CBT to Domestic Violence victims EVENTHOUGH and indeed it is listed on their website as services offered The woman that spoke to me INSISTED to convince me that it was an error and that the only CBT they offered was CBT for accidents victims and the likes but DEFINITELY NOT DV survivors I am still struggling to wrap my head around what is going on here why is a charity that is constantly used by the NHS and received a Total income of 53 842 081 from 81 government contract s and 7 522 449 from 31 government grant s offering services and listing services they claim not to offer I have at least six names and still collating data from DV survivors that are STILL on this waiting list for CBT which I am now being told DOESNT exist If this is the case then this is a fraudulent and miss-leading service and it is pointless for GP s IAPT and other mental health services to keep referring victims of Domestic violence to this service I am now being FORCED to get on this supposedly new service called THRIVE Again I am being bounced around from one service to the other having being on a waiting list from WeAREwithyou for nearly a year their website states they offer CBT to DV victims I am utterly disappointed and as a previous NHS professional I will take this matter to the highest level as this is a shame and embarrassment to the NHS I once worked for

Absolutely disgusted with the attitude

Absolutely disgusted with the attitude of your employees they were rude and unprofessional beyond belief I feel really sorry for their clients who are under their care I am totally shocked

Do not touch this dodgy organisation

My child s school emailed us about partnering with this organisation There were some red flags for me so I emailed the company s admin last week but they did not respond I then did a webchat with two separate advisers this week - the first refused to answer my questions and closed the chat and the second made off colour jokes about our faith being very offensive to me I emailed admin again to complain and to ask my questions once more but again they refused to answer with a simple yes or no Basically I wanted to know if they promulgated the use of for example mindfulness or yoga but they did not answer despite being pressed But upon trawling their website it appears they do encourage mindfulness and meditation Their refusing to answer me speaks volumes I do not feel that a CofE school should partner with this and other organisations doing the same thing I understand there was an assembly about it To the awake Christian mindfulness meditation etc are anathema to the faith My child s junior school started doing mindfulness without informing parents first I soon got that knocked on the head when I found out A CofE childrens club did yoga without informing us first I soon made my feelings known the CofE lost the plot years ago in numerous ways and Justin Welby is well aware of my feelings on a number of his and his bishops erroneous ways One hears of Christian mindfulness Christian yoga but it s a case of slap the word Christian on it and it makes it okay It doesn t If one does have issues then open the Bible and the answers will be there no need for these suspect organisations It is a fact that children who have been encouraged coerced into doing mindfulness then DO experience mental issues caused by the activity These techniques mostly with their roots in other philosophies and so called religions are not to be encouraged - I could say more You may think I m a fruitcake but that is my firmly held belief and stance

Incompetent

Incompetent unhelpful lazy and useless These are people that only care only about themselves I have contacted the Care and Quality Commission to look into them

We Are Not With You Not Really

I had essentially zero issues with them for years as realistically I made things rather easy for them zero challenges zero headaches until a flight got delayed by 3 days and they decided to play god with medication they know I need blaming everything and everyone for their response but themselves My key worker all but suggested I sort myself out team leader kept repeating we re not an emergency service like I m asking him to send an ambulance to my house basically zero accountability zero care zero consideration zero effort from people who are meant to be helping people either overcome their addictions or maintain sobriety Clean for 11 years on supplementary medication for 7 years plus and these unprofessional admin people are happy leaving me without my medication for 5 days medication I have taken daily for over 7 years key worker even suggested that people in my shoes usually have to relapse to keep themselves from having severe withdrawals utterly disgusting if you understand the risks that come with that especially if you know as much about my life as these lot do they literally have more data on me than the internet Agencies organizations like this one should not have this much power over patients lives I would have never had this issue in London never felt like I needed to convince anyone I was telling the truth I was always treated based on my stellar record something these lot didn t take into account for even a few seconds I wouldn t trust these guys with something as important as a prescription you depend on I will now do everything in my power to find an alternative provider or solution to people like these folks you re always a druggie someone beneath them that deserves to suffer as they have done this to themselves one size fits all and people wonder why the rates of addiction are so high in the UK I just want to make it clear to whoever is in charge of this non-emergency service if anything happens to me in the 5 days I am essentially completely off my medication due to your inability to secure me an appointment in time you will be held responsible if not by myself by those who depend on me either way I will do my best to make sure this doesn t happen to someone else later down the line I don t care if I have to write an article a day about the consequences of this level of detachment from responsibility for your patients

Trying to reduce with people wanting to get crazy

I ve been on a methadone reduction plan for a few years I have been let down by support workers on numerous occasions Hopefully one day we are with you were actually with someone who needs you because you haven t been there for me Which reinforces the negative influence in my life my support worker would tell me she would help with pip contact my gas and electric company as I m stressed over accumulation of debt escalating I was told I would get help getting a washing machine Nobody helps me with anything so we are with you is a joke
