The Consultation & Advocacy Promotion Service
CAPS is an independent advocacy organisation for people who use, or have used mental health services.
CAPS works with mental health service users as individuals or as members of a group to set their own agenda, to find a stronger voice, to get their point across, and influence decisions which affect their lives.
Much More Than A Label
Personality Disorder Toolkit
As promised at our AGM and in our Annual Report, the Personality Disorder Toolkit ‘Much More Than A Label’ is now available to look at here on our website.
The aim of this resource is to improve understanding and support for people with a diagnosis of personality disorder. The toolkit is still in draft form at the moment, and the author, Naomi Salisbury, would welcome your feedback. You can get in touch with Naomi by clicking here e-mail Naomi
