Some of the comments from people that have used PinC include:

‘It has changed my whole outlook to my disability I’m looking more at managing my illness than trying to get others to understand how bad it is for me’

‘I have a plan and I know what I am doing – instead of mental health imposing itself on me, telling me what is best for me.’

Some comments from mental health/psychiatric nurses include:

‘It forces an attitudinal change which is not obvious to start with – I had to put the client’s needs as central rather than on the periphery’

‘I liked sitting down with the client and using their own words in the document, their concerns, their goals and strategies’.
