Four young people describe, in an intensely personal way, how transition from CAMHS felt for them. They discuss the onset of their mental health problems and their experience of transition to adult services, which they describe as scary, confusing, and ‘like falling down a cliff with rocky bits'. Admission to adult wards was particularly frightening. Young people and their families want information, joined up services, and to be listened to. Otherwise, being discharged ‘feels like being given up on'. The second half of the film is about the integrated Sheffield Health and Social Care Trust. The challenge is to improve transition when young people are no longer eligible for services from the child and adolescent mental health team at the age of 16. Young people were getting lost in the gap between services and many were not accessing services. The aim of creating special new services is to decrease the anxiety of young people and their families and to improve the transition. Services managed by health include a transition clinic, whilst social services run a peer support group and a drop-in counselling service. Staff and young people talk about the ways in which these new services are of benefit.

Systematic maps aim to describe the existing research literature on a broad topic area and also highlight any gaps. This systematic map includes research on the experience of depression in various BME older populations and the use of services in the UK. In particular, it provides an overview of and access to research on: the main ethnic groups assessed for depression; the factors associated with the incidence of depression; the languages used by different BME communities to describe depression, and the meanings attached to depressive symptoms; the screening tools for depression used by healthcare and other professionals some types of interventions available to older BME people. Despite the coverage of broad issues on depression in BME older people, the map highlights considerable gaps particularly around the issue of social care provision.

Report of a NISW research and development project looking at the interfaces within and between services for families where a parent has a persistent mental health, alcohol or drug problem. Services that have been set up to help the children and parents in such families are located in and administered by a number of different organisations. Effective collaboration, joint working across the many interfaces, and a focus on the family as a whole are essential if children and their parents are to receive appropriate help, advice and guidance.

The research briefing focuses on jointly-organised services for older people and people with mental health problems in the UK only. It identifies different models of working between health and social care services at the strategic, commissioning and operational levels; evidence of effectiveness and cost-effectiveness; factors promoting and obstacles hindering the success of these models; and the perspectives of people who use services and their carers. The main issues are discussed under themes of: organisational issues; cultural and professional issues; and contextual issues. Gaps in the research evidence and the need to develop high-quality, large-scale research into joint and integrated working are also identified. The briefing updates a previous systematic review and excludes papers published before 2000.
