Thanks @Shaz51
Sorry your Gp is not more broadminded. Could it be worth seeing another?
As far as different professional roles ... I think 'case workers' are the role when MH orders are made. I have never had one, but my son did in the past.
I have a 'support worker' through NDIS and have found it very helpful to feel I have the right to have a visitor once per week and can talk about me, whether or not it spills over into my concern about my son. The fit can make a difference, but regardless the role is to give support. It is flexible and up to your own needs and imagination and what the worker feels comnfortable with. It might be a hurdle to jump to be accepted with NDIS. I do not know other ways to get one, tho a few community mental health organisations in pre ndis times seemed to have them ... ???
I hope others have more answers.
