This paper explores the issue of how to develop a greater level of integration across the continuum services to young people with mental health difficulties. Reference is made to the strategic guidance offered by key documents and a pilot project is described, which attempted to link services across providers including a specialist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Teams, Paediatricians, a Family Centre, a schools’ counselling service, the voluntary sector and the Youth Justice agency. The achievements of the pilot are noted, as are some of the difficulties encountered. The potential for further development is also considered.

It is now well recognized that people with learning disabilities experience the full range of psychiatric disorders. Public policy in the United Kingdom advocates that people with learning disabilities should access mainstream mental health services. The authors discuss the challenges this policy presents, and then describe the processes they went through to set up a service that properly enabled such access. They describe the service model in some detail, then reflect on overcoming barriers to implementation, and how we maintain the service model. Finally some lessons for future service development initiatives are highlighted.

Since the year 2000, Ohio has seen the development of Integrated Dual Disorders Treatment (IDDT) model teams grow from 9 SAMHSA funded pilot sites, to 35 teams and an adaptation to the model implemented in seven of nine State Hospitals in 2005. While the IDDT model itself has been found to be effective in clinical trials, the factors influencing successful implementation of the evidence based practice model in community treatment settings are still being explored. This article offers an overview of what has been learned about successful methods that contribute to the development of IDDT in community settings.

This report sets out a new model, called the Personalisation Model, for integrating health and social care for people with mental health problems. The model is being developed for implementation in Yorkshire & Humber. It is designed to promote personalisation, empowerment and citizenship for people with mental health problems. The report comprises 3 sections. The first describes how, drawing on the latest thinking and practice, the Personalisation Model has been designed. The second section describes the model and its 7 main elements: total place commissioning; prevention; individual funding; self-directed support; co-production; community-based support; and outcomes-focus. Finally, the third section describes plans for implementing and testing the model. The name of the new development programme and its underlying partnerships will be Personalisation in Mental Health.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to describe the delivery of the first clinically led, inter-professional Pathway Homeless team in a mental health trust, within the King’s Health Partners hospitals in South London. The Kings Health Partners Pathway Homeless teams have been operating since January 2014 at Guy’s and St Thomas’ (GStT) and Kings College Hospital and expanded to the South London and Maudsley in 2015 as a charitable pilot, now continuing with short-term funding. Design/methodology/approach: This paper outlines how the team delivered its key aim of improving health and housing outcomes for inpatients. It details the service development and integration within a mental health trust incorporating the experience of its sister teams at Kings and GStT. It goes on to show how the service works across multiple hospital sites and is embedded within the Trust’s management structures. Findings: Innovations including the transitional arrangements for patients’ post-discharge are described. In the first three years of operation the team saw 237 patients. Improved housing status was achieved in 74 per cent of patients with reduced use of unscheduled care after discharge. Early analysis suggests a statistically significant reduction in bed days and reduced use of unscheduled care. Originality/value: The paper suggests that this model serves as an example of person centred, value-based health that is focused on improving care and outcomes for homeless inpatients in mental health settings, with the potential to be rolled-out nationally to other mental health Trusts (Publisher abstract)
