#MyMentalHealthPassport what's it all about?

When you attend an appointment with a psychiatrist or community psychiatric nurse (CPN) or any health care professionals do you find yourself in the frustrating position where you have to repeat your life story, wasting a lot of time, when you could be discussing your needs for the here and now? With the passport it gives you a pocket size summary of your history, what has helped, what hasn't and your needs in a crisis. This can be given to the health professionals to look at and photocopy or take notes from instead of wasting your valuable time. This can be especially helpful when you have a mental health crisis and you do not want to discuss your entire history (yet again).
