    Read 'Vision for Change' to get an overview of where the mental health services are heading, or meant to be. Read the Mental Health Act 2001. That'll be a start.

    Clients might be a more appropriate word than patients.

    Is it just me or is it totally inappropriate to be bringing a teenager to meetings with clients?

    It's difficult enough for undergraduates in psychology to get work experience...but at least they are better equipped to deal with/be around clients of mental health services..
