Three of my Immediate family are senior psychiatric nurses, one retired, one community based! One who works with a small group of patients who have been sectioned by the Secretary of State for Scotland basically one level down from "Carstairs" which is Scotlands version of "Broadmoor -secure, state, psychiatric hospital.
As a child my mother worked in the same hospital that my younger brother is now a senior charge nurse at (secure unit) and we grew up in staff accommodation across the road from this sprawling 70-100 acres victorian hospital and we played in the grounds daily and grew up very accepting (as did the local community) of people with various mental health issues and conditions. Community mental health nurses predominantly agree that without a lot more funding "care in the community" was founded to fail! (In Scotland - my only personal reference point - (sister in law))
