More info here http://caretraining.wordpress.com/freebies-and-downloads/ (http://caretraining.wordpress.com/freebies-and-downloads/) the guy who writes it suggests *emotional management*. He has an interest in MH and his online writing have been used on a uni required reading list for 2 years.
It's amazing who you end up chatting to on twitter n what you can find out :;):
He says he doesn't bite n feel free to email him or follow him on twitter if you want more info

It's nice to read what goes on from the other perspective too

The police stuff is interesting, thanks for posting Faith, last time I was detained by the police there was a huge discussion about whether the police should take me to hospital or whether they should get an ambulance, a discussion in part because it was foot patrols that had detained me.

I have always been treated well by the police and never been taken to a cell.
