Tired of all the negativity

Sir, – After reading two very good positive letters regarding Carseview Centre I would also like to respond as chairperson of Dundee Mental Health Cairn Fowk on behalf of our members who have had positive experiences.

As a group we have always as carers/ supporters/family members had a good relationship with Carseview Centre.

They have always welcomed us and a few of our members are involved with the Carseview Carers Group.

This was initiated by the hospital who are open for us to choose what we would like discussed and bring staff along to participate.

The group who take part have had very positive experiences of Carseview centre.

We go every Christmas and have done for many years to sing carols and Christmas songs,the patients and staff are always there supporting us, and enjoying the

evening. Like all services there is always room for change, but we have found them very willing to take on board our grievances and act accordingly if they can – and if not they explain why not.

It’s very sad that this programme made out that everyone was so uncaring as, in our experience, this is not the case.

Perhaps we should now have a programme highlighting the positive things as we are tired of negativity.
