During her interview Joan said she wanted <strong>the</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essi<strong>on</strong>als to "listen to <strong>the</strong><br />
reas<strong>on</strong>s behind what I was doing". The fact that she did not feel listened to<br />

services she did engage with involved pr<strong>of</strong>essi<strong>on</strong>als who carried out direct<br />
work with her in <strong>the</strong> children's home. Her descripti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> a service that failed to<br />
"listen to <strong>the</strong> reas<strong>on</strong>s behind what I was doing" is an insightful reflecti<strong>on</strong> into<br />
<strong>the</strong> type <strong>of</strong> service that Joan felt she needed but did not receive.<br />
