My dd 24 was under the crisis team. After saying she had suicidal plans. She has asd so finds it hard to meet people face to face. They wanted to either come to our home or her go to their base. She said she would prefer phone calls. They then discharged her as she wasn’t engaging how they wanted her to. While still in crisis. Her care coordinator sent an email after speaking to the manager of the team saying if she was to act on her thoughts to call an ambulance. This was after talking to her on the phone and her saying she felt unsafe. I assume the manager asked them to put it in writing to cover them if anything were to happen.

I don't want to sound harsh, but your DD is 'lucky' (not lucky but you know what I mean) to be offered support under the crisis team. I have been referred to them for suicidal intent and plans and they have not taken me on twice now and I am regarded as high risk as have a baby...given they are willing to offer your DD support, she needs to work with them. They cannot assess suicidal patients over the phone. It is not how they work. How is she now?
