Questionnaires from service users

In order to make this FAQ page authentic and genuine we reached out to our service users who are on their journey of discovery their personality disorder.

We asked them:

“What questions did you have when you were first diagnosed?”

“How would you answer those questions now?”

“What questions do you still have?”

For the questions that our service users still have and are struggling to find the answers to we asked our STARS (Support Training and Recovery Systems – an organisation consisting of ex service users from local Complex Needs Services) to share their thoughts and insights in the hopes that they can offer some guidance and advice on these challenging and persistent questions.

We reached out to the STARS and asked them to share their thoughts and views on these questions that our service users were struggling to find the answers to in hopes that they can share some valuable insights that could be helpful to finding answers to these questions.
