This case study describes the work of Uthink recovery learning programme, which is designed for 14-25 for olds experiencing, or at risk of developing, mental health problems (including those with first episode psychosis). The programme was originally run as a pilot in three sites across England, and included residential services, leadership, peer mentoring and modular-based elements. It aimed to improve young people's understanding of and ability to manage their mental health difficulties; help them to build peer relationships and network; and provide opportunities to learn new skills, including communication skills, and to have hope and aspirations for the future. Aspects of the pilot programmes are now being embedded into local services offered by Rethink in the East Midlands and Dorset areas. The case study provides background to the project, information on designing the services, intended outcomes, measuring impact and resources involved.

A guide for professionals charged with integrating personal budgets for adults of working age with mental health problems. The guide provides an overview of the terminology and policy background and puts forward some recommendations for implementing integrated personal budgets in mental health. It describes what a good integrated personal budget looks like, highlights some of the challenges of integration, looks at what works well and provides examples from practice. It also examines the key areas that need to be tackled for integration at the point of the individual to become a reality. The guide draws on a review of available published research evidence, practice examples and visits to sites attempting to implement integrated personal budgets. An Advisory Group ensured the guide reflected experience and practice at the grass-roots level of service provision. (Edited publisher abstract)

This case study describes the work of Y-Talk counselling and therapy service, a key part of Sheffield YMCA’s Interchange Emotional Well-Being Programme. Y-Talk provides an accessible service for 16-25 year olds. It aims to fill a gap between universal and more specialist mental health services and is designed specifically for young people making the transition into adulthood. Many of the young people who are referred for help would be either unable or unwilling to access specialist statutory mental health services provided through the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) or the Adult Mental Health Services (AMHS). The case study provides background to the project, information about designing the service, involving young people in the service, intended outcomes, measuring impact, and resources involved.
