This research investigated the barriers and facilitators to mental health care pathways in the early childhood mental health sector, with the aim of better understanding the behaviours and systems that underpin service co-ordination across sectors. The research used a place-based approach and engaged with early childhood service practitioners – engagement methods included 23 face-to-face interviews; two interactive workshops, including one with 12 paediatricians; and a forum with 45 practitioners from across the service system and early childhood mental health service sector – a total of 80 participants. Across all interviews and workshops, common themes emerged about barriers and facilitators to referral pathways. Barriers to service provision and mental health referral pathways raised included: waiting times for services; cost of services and transport; impact of social disadvantage on treatment adherence; eligibility criteria for services; care burden and time restraints; communication between service providers; referral pathways, processes and systems; and working across sectors: information sharing and information systems. Facilitators to improving referrals and collaborative partnerships included co-located services or hubs; ‘stepped care’ approach; support co-ordination and multidisciplinary teams; an increase in services in early learning and childcare settings; integrating schools as part of the health system; and establishing trust and building relationships. This article focuses on four recommendations or key areas for improvement for service provision, which rely on the need for quality relationships between health care providers at all stages of the health pathway. The four recommendations are: improvements to screening, assessment, triage and referral processes; the need for support co-ordination; establishment of integrated community service hubs that enable co-location of primary, secondary and tertiary services with social and family service providers; educate health and social services to better integrate with schools and the education system.

The effectiveness of fifteen studies of three broad categories of physical activity programmes was assessed. Although the review suggests that physical activity programmes can improve social and emotional well-being, the results must be viewed with caution due to the poor quality of the studies included. There were also problems with a lack of long-term follow up, the variability of populations studied, and the nature of the interventions delivered.
