A 'professionals' meeting about me tomorrow

[Hatstrategicallydipped]

So, I've been having pretty much a nervous breakdown over the past 2 weeks. Tomorrow, ever service I'm involved with are having a meeting about me, without me.

AIBU to think that I should be included?

AIBU to think that it's literally going to be a meeting to shunt me from pillar to post and that nothing will be in my best interests?

AIBU to ask whether anyone has been to such a meeting and can tell me what goes on?

This is a normal process. A multi disciplinary team meets normally to discuss a list of cases and agree appropriate approaches for each patient.
The objective is to avoid pushing you from pillar to post and is entirely focussed on identifying the right route to help you.
Patients are not involved in these sessions as they review multiple patients in each meeting and the logistics of bringing patients would be really challenging.

Please try not to worry. MDT meetings happen all the time to ensure that the patient receives the best care. It is important that everyone involved in your care can communicate with each other so that they can develop a care plan.

I have been to many professionals meetings - adult social care. The idea is to get everyone round the table to check what each can offer by way of support, identify priorities as far as professionals see them [professionals are all aware that one of those priorities is what you may have said you are looking at as most important] and suggest some ways forward whilst avoiding duplication or missing important things. It's never been my experience or intention to go against the interests of the person, nor to shut them out, any more than it's shutting you out for you not to be present at all lab tests for physical illnesses. Having said that professionals aren't perfect nor infallible.
It may however be that your illness is leading you to be more suspicious than usual, or I may be assuming too much, I don't know you. But it's a thought?
It should be the case that someone is responsible for reporting back to you and explaining what's proposed.

I'm under mental health services and get asked to cpa reviews. I was unaware of any others

Unless you have children and it's safeguarding concerns?

MDTs are pretty standard with aim if helping a patient. Wait to hear what they suggest and you could always ask to be involved in follow up meeting. But, usually, it's about ensuring your care is properly coordinated for the best possible care outcome.

It’s so professionals can have a professional conversation about you. There may be disagreements or discussions that it would be unhelpful for you to hear. It’s botmal and it’s about coming to an agreed professional position, so they services can work together effectively to help you.

Thanks, no, nothing to do with children as my children have fled the nest. Just my good self. I've had input with my various case workers in terms of what I want/need/feel might work in the short/long term.

The Home Treatment Team called it. I'm presuming they don't want to be involved for too long and are probably going to put pressure on the other teams involved to pull the finger out - Community Recovery Team for e.g.

Sounds pretty standard then-HTT are only supposed to be involved very short term during crisis or immediately post discharge

How are you feeling about it?

Result was pretty good, though counselling ruled out.
