BACK TO BASICS // REPORT
We ran a survey about negative experiences with mental health services based on a domestic violence checklist.
We hope the resulting Adverse Behaviours in Clinicians (ABC-11) checklist will help decrease harm & improve outcomes.

'We used a domestic violence resource which identifies harmful interpersonal behaviours in relationships. It described how we'd often felt treated by mental health practitioners & we wanted to see if other people had a similar experience'.

We're highlighting the impact of 'austerity ailments' - #MentalHealth is not an individual problem that exists in isolation from social factors that require political solutions.

I asked autistic people and ADHDers what they find hard about therapy and what adjustments would help. Out of over 800 responses, these were the most common replies and themes.👇🏻
