Hello Dec,

All areas have a community mental health team (CMHT) that consists of consultant psychiatrist, psychologists, social workers, community psychiatric nurses, occupational therapists and support workers.

So there will be a cpn in your area but it sounds like you have been referred to an ASW. They are still a member of the team and will help you and find out what your needs are, so try not to worry.

Hope it goes well for you.

Take care.
