This briefing looks at recent research literature on the move from child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) to adults’ services for young people with psychological, emotional or behavioural problems. The literature is UK-based, with a small amount of literature included from the USA and Australia. The briefing looks at what professionals, young people, parents, carers and families think about mental health service transitions and what their experience has been. It also identifies existing evidence for good practice and service models in supporting successful service transitions. The evidence is discussed in the areas of: problems and challenges in transitions; social exclusion and mental health service transitions; good practice and service models; and the limitations of published research. Implications from the research are listed for different stakeholders.

Background: Differences in care philosophies may influence transitions from child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) to adult mental health services (AMHS). Aims: To review literature about CAMHS and AMHS care philosophies and their influence on transitions. Method: MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase and CINAHL databases were searched electronically using keywords related to transitions, youth and mental disorders. Content relating to philosophies of care was searched manually. Descriptive themes were extracted and the analysis suggested four hypotheses of how care philosophies influence transitions. Results: Of the 1897 identified articles, 12 met eligibility criteria. Findings reveal consistent differences in care philosophies between CAMHS (developmental approach, involving families and nurturing) and AMHS (clinical/diagnosis-focus, emphasis on client autonomy and individual responsibility). Conclusions: Better understanding of philosophical differences and collaborative planning and service delivery may foster shared approaches in CAMHS and AMHS to better meet the needs of transitioning youth.

Outlines the findings from qualitative thematic analysis of area evidence summaries from fieldwork undertaken in 10 health and wellbeing board areas to support phase two of the thematic review on children and young people’s mental health, carried out by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The analysis pulls out themes from across the areas visited and provides some examples of both good and less good practice, as well as the views of children and young people and their families. The findings cover the areas of: governance, leadership and strategic oversight; workforce capacity; local mental health systems; access to care and information; and quality of care.

This report pulls together findings from engagement activities that took place as part of phase two of the children and young people’s mental health thematic review, carried out by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Through the engagement activities, the CQC spoke to young people aged 12 to 25 who had accessed a range of mental health services. The report identifies common and emerging themes across the following areas: the referral process; waiting times; staff involved in young people’s care; stereotypes and stigma; communication; person-centred services; transition to adult services; and safety. The report is intended to inform the overall phase two report for the review and can be considered alongside the engagement report for phase one of the review. These engagement activities are additional to the engagement work included in the fieldwork for the review. (Edited publisher abstract)
Neglected minds: a report on mental health support for young people leaving care

This report looks at the mental health needs of care leavers and what could be done to better support them. Drawing on quantitative and qualitative research carried out with Barnardo's services, the research found that 46 per cent of the Barnardo's care leaver cases which were reviewed as part of the research involved young people who had mental health needs. In addition, 65 per cent of young people identified as having mental health needs were not currently receiving any statutory service. Barriers facing care leavers in accessing support included: information about mental health needs not being passed to leaving care teams; those supporting care leavers, such as personal advisers lacking expertise in mental health; and mental health services available are often too inflexible to meet the needs of care leavers. The report highlights good practice ideas to help overcome these barriers and better support care leavers with mental health needs. These include embedding mental health workers in leaving care teams, youth specific provision designed around the needs of young people and more training for personal advisers.

Purpose: Adolescents and young adults’ mental health problems are an important health issue. However, the current organisation of the care pathway is not robust enough and transition between child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) and adult mental health services (AMHS) has been identified as a period of risk. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach: A retrospective survey was conducted in Montpellier University Hospital concerning transitions organised between CAMHS and AMHS between 2008 and 2009. The aim was to assess if transitions met four criteria identified in literature as warranting an optimal transition. Findings: In total, 31 transitions were included. Transition was accepted by AMHS in 90 per cent of cases but its organisation was rarely optimal. Relational continuity and transition planning were absent in 80 per cent of cases. The age boundary of 16 often justified the triggering of the transition regardless of patient’s needs. Discontinuity was observed in 48 per cent of transition cases, with an average gap of three months without care. Psychiatrists reported difficulties in working together. Finally, at the moment of the survey (one to three years later), 55 per cent of patients were lost to follow-up. Research limitations/implications: This is a retrospective study on a small sample but it reveals important data about transition in France. Practical implications: Transition process should include collaborative working between CAMHS and AMHS, with cross-agency working and periods of parallel care. (Edited publisher abstract)
