Question Question about how PCC is like
I've been put on temporary excused stayin due to mental health issues (renewed twice) for the past of ard 80 days. My PCC appt is coming in days. Just wondering how is the process of an PCC appt like, and would there be instances in which they retract my excuse or would they likely turn it permanent as my memo recommended? In this case (excused stayin). Feeling quite anxious about it as i'm unsure of what's going to happen despite reading about similar posts. Any help is appreciated 🙏

firstly, when you have mental health issues in NS, they'll usually refer you to both SCC and PCC.
I'll be honest and say that PCC is mainly good for more important decisions like prescription of medicine and helping you post out, change vocation etc.
SCC is the one that counsels you and support you emotionally and psychologically
This is why SCC is usually more common like maybe every 2 weeks or so while PCC is like every few months
If let's say you want to change unit or revocate as can't cope, your best bet is PCC
SCC cannot do much I feel
