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)

The Listening to Children and Young People project was set up in response to concerns that the voice of children and young people was absent from the consultation and planning process of children’s services, particularly with reference to mental health issues. It was commissioned by the South Gloucestershire Joint Children’s Strategy Workgroup on Child and Adolescent Mental Health. The Project aims were to: explore the attitudes and perceptions of a broad range of children and young people towards emotional and mental health and mental illness; extend understanding and awareness of children’s views and experiences of services in South Gloucestershire; and enable children's services in South Gloucestershire to establish good methods, work practices and arrangements around listening to children now and in the future so as to guarantee their continuing effective participation in service planning and delivery. The project outcomes and processes will be used to inform: agency and inter-agency training events in South Gloucestershire; and agency and inter-agency reviews of services and service planning in the area, in particular with reference to Quality Protects targets with reference to ‘listening to children and young people’.

The final evaluation report of the SCIE 'Think child, think parent, think family' project which aimed to help services to improve their responses to parents with mental health problems and their families. The report documents the progress made by the 10 sites involved, five in England and five in Northern Ireland, and makes recommendations for future activity. The report begins by providing background to the project and the methodology used. It then documents the learning from the sites, considering first what changes to practice have been made and how this has been achieved. Areas discussed are the strategic approaches to implementation, involving service users, workforce development, improving access to services, assessment, planning and reviewing care, and providing care. It then looks at lessons about the process of change and what has helped and hindered this. Recommendations for future work are also made. The project provided useful learning about how to implement the think family approach described in the SCIE (2009) guide. Over the course of the pilot practice sites were found to place and increasing emphasis on early intervention and prevention and progress on improving existing services and the way they work together.
