Late-night mental health support launched A new initiative to provide late-night support and safety for people with mental health problems has launched in Scunthorpe The Haven, which launched on January 9th, 2020 aims to help reduce the risk of mental-health crisis by providing a safe space for people who urgently need to talk to someone.

The service will be provided by Scunthorpe and District Mind at its premises on Fenton Street, Scunthorpe and is commissioned

by NHS North Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group.

The Haven will offer mental-health support to people 16+ in North Lincolnshire in the evenings and at weekends, Thursday to Sunday, when they may need help most. If required, professionals are also able to refer and direct onwards to further services.

Trained mental-health support workers will offer self-help guidance and tools to support people to manage thoughts of self-harm, low mood and anxiety. They will support people to reduce any immediate crisis and to safety plan; drawing on strengths, resilience, and coping mechanisms to manage their mental health and wellbeing.

There will also be a communal area with a TV, board games, adult colouring and refreshments so service users can relax and escape from reality if needed.

Page 12

Anyone who needs support is welcome to drop in but referrals can also be made by a GP practice, mental-health team, social care, police or ambulance service.

The overall aim is for The Haven to provide a safe environment to support people in the community, reducing pressure on the emergency services. People who attend will also be offered a follow-up call the next day to see how they are doing.

Alex Seale, Chief Operating Officer at NHS North Lincolnshire CCG, said: “Rather than replace existing mental-health services, the new service will complement them. I am pleased that we are able to deliver this muchneeded service for our population.”

Claire Chapman, Chief Executive at Scunthorpe and District Mind said: “People experiencing thoughts of self-harm, low mood and anxiety need to be seen promptly by an appropriate mental-health professional.

“We offer a safe haven for anyone in mentalhealth distress. Support workers can quickly help the individual to manage troubling thoughts and keep themselves safe.”

For more information about the service, please contact Scunthorpe and District Mind on 01724 279500.

Third-time lucky for Scunthorpe man with hepatitis C who is now

VIRUS FREE Paul Hazel was devastated to discover back in 2015 he had hepatitis C. Fast forward four years – and after three rounds of treatment – he is virus free after testing negative for the second time in a row Paul has decided to tell his story in the hope more people will come forward and seek help, as the new treatments available now have a cure rate of more than 95 per cent!

Page 20

He said: “Getting my final negative result in December was the best Christmas present I could have ever wished for. I have been through a lot to get here but it has been worth it.

For me success has been possible because the staff at Scunthorpe hospital never gave up.

Please mention Scunthorpe Journal when calling advertisers

“I had two courses of the ‘old’ treatment, which I have to confess was hell. The second time round it was just awful.

“I had to take a day off work every time I had the injection as I would be in bed for the whole day, it just wiped me out.”

February/March 2020 - Issue 18

“The new treatment is brilliant. I would urge anyone who has been through the old treatment and faced the horrors it brought and the failure it sometimes ended in, to go to their GP and get referred to Clare’s clinic” However, Paul, together with the hepatitis C team at Scunthorpe hospital, persevered and didn’t give in.

Hepatitis C specialist nurse, Clare Robinson, said: “There are so many taboos surrounding the virus, as well as bad press when it comes to the old treatment, that people are reluctant to come forward.

“However, treatment is now so simple with hardly any side effects – using the new direct acting antiviral medication; patients now only have to take one or three tablets a day for eight to 12 weeks.”

Hepatitis C is contracted through infected blood. It can be caught if people have had tattoos using dirty needles or shared ink, body piercings using unsterilized equipment, occupational needle stick injuries, fighting, had a blood transfusion before 1991, been a recipient of blood products before 1986, shared such things as razors, hair clippers or toothbrushes, unprotected sex and shared needles for drug use.

There are usually no noticeable symptoms until the liver has been significantly damaged. This means many people may have the infection without realising.

When symptoms do occur, they are usually mistaken for another condition. The symptoms can include muscle aches, high temperatures, a loss of appetite, abdominal pain, poor concentration and feeling/being sick.

Clare said: “It is really important if people think they have put themselves at risk, or have any of the symptoms of hepatitis C, to get themselves checked out.”

Paul was referred to Scunthorpe hospital in November 2015, and following a comprehensive assessment, was started on the ‘old’ regime of treatment in March 2016 and again in September 2016, with both attempts failing.

In June 2018, Paul had the opportunity to try the new direct acting antiviral medication.

Paul said: “There were no side effects compared to the old treatment, it was a doddle. It was so easy. I didn’t have to take time off work, life just continued as usual.”

The best news came in December 2018 when his test results showed he was negative for the virus. He had a further test a year later and now in 2019 it is official – he is cured.

The virus can take decades to develop, sometimes as long as 30 years, before it makes its presence really known in the form of cirrhosis of the liver or liver cancer.

Paul periodically kept complaining to his GP of not feeling right but was always told it was nothing to worry about. So, in 2015 when he was told he had tested positive for the virus he was devastated.

Paul added: “The new treatment is brilliant. I would urge anyone who has been through the old treatment and faced the horrors it brought and the failure it sometimes ended in, to go to their GP and get referred to Clare’s clinic. Without the team at the hospital I would still be living with hepatitis C and my future would have been unknown.”
