A short case study describing the work of City and Hackney Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS). The service has extended their Tier 3 service provision to young people past the age of 18 years old who do not currently meet the criteria for Adult Mental Health Services (AMHS), but who are considered to require a mental health service. The case study outlines the background to the project, describes how the service was designed, how outcomes and impact of the service will be measured, and explains when the the service may be suitable to transferable to other settings.

SCIE research briefing 24: experiences of children and young people caring for a parent with a mental health problem

The total of 175,000 young carers identified in the 2001 UK Census is likely to be a substantial underestimate. Over one third of young carers provide care for someone with a serious mental health problem who is their parent or holds a parental role. Mothers are more likely to suffer mental health problems than fathers, and care for mothers is most often given by a female child. The unpredictable nature of some mental health problems can create difficulties for young carers whose behaviours are not always correctly attributed. The high level of stigma attached to mental health problems may lead young carers to exclude themselves from social involvement. The needs of young carers could often be better met by validating their input, concerns and skills. The education system can play a major role by recognising the impact of the caring role on children and young people’s experience of education, and making appropriate onward referrals.

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.

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.

Mental health transitions: an integrated practice example

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.

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.

This document provides the response from SCIE to the HM Treasury (HMT) and Department for Education and Skills’ (DfES) call for evidence on the review of children and young people. It looks at the prevention strand and the review of high cost, high harm families. SCIE welcomes the HMT/DfES focus on a preventative approach to supporting children and young people, drawing on work around parental mental health and child welfare to illustrate the importance of early intervention and of a whole family approach. It argues that the needs of the whole family should be viewed separately but also together in the ways that the different needs and behaviours of different family members interrelate and impact on each other. However, specialisation in health and social care services mean that families are not treated as a whole and their interrelatedness is not recognised. This separation has led to a situation where staff in adult mental health services focus on the adult with insufficient attention paid to the adult as a parent and his/her dependent children. Staff in children's services put insufficient emphasis on the mental health needs of parents and the potential adverse impact on children.

This film brings together professionals from health, social care and education to discuss some of the situations highlighted in two parental mental health case studies featured on Social Care TV: Wendy - a mother’s story and Cait - a young person's story. Each professional has experience of dealing with parental mental health issues in the voluntary sector, in education, in community mental health and in family centres. The discussion is mediated by Rose De Paeztron, Head of Strategic Development at Family Action, a charity that supports disadvantaged families throughout England.
