This briefing provides an overview of adolescent mental health for frontline practitioners in teams offering family support, social work and youth work and offers some practical guidelines and tools to support them. The briefing focuses in particular on the concept of ‘mentalisation’ which offers practically applicable theory to inform direct practice. Sections cover: what adolescence is; the challenges and difficulties of adolescence and the brain development that occurs during this time; mental health and mental ill health in adolescence; the impact of trauma, neglect and abuse, and the role of resilience. The final section looks at how universal and frontline services can support adolescents with mental health problems and offers tips on working with individual clients, your team and wider networks.

This resource contains two tools that can be used to help professionals when working with young people with mental health problems, the 'Collaborative Care Planning Tool' and the ‘Dis-integration Grid Tool’. The ‘Collaborative Care Planning Tool' supports collaborative working between practitioners and young people. The ‘Dis-integration Grid Tool’ can be used to help identify the most unhelpful ‘dis-integrations’ in a network. It allows staff to outline their understanding of the different positions of key people in a network (the young person, carer, and staff from other agencies) and how each person might: see the problem, what to do about it, and who should be doing what. The resource also lists some of the most commonly used screening and outcomes measures. An accompanying Research in Practice Frontline Briefing Adolescent mental health provides further information about the research that underpins these tools. (Edited publisher abstract)
