- Authors:
- LAZARO Fernando, et al

This study aimed to describe the attitudes of the professionals of a multi-disciplinary crisis intervention service (CIS) towards the service they provide. Opinions differed most on issues of safety and acceptance of clinical responsibility. These differences may create tensions within the multi-disciplinary groups and may influence the attitudes of professions to crisis work. Measures need to be taken to address these issues in order to improve morale and staff satisfaction.

Findings from a joint inspection about the effectiveness of partnership working and of the work of individual agencies responding to children’s mental health in Plymouth. The inspection was undertaken by HMI Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services, Ofsted, the Care Quality Commission and HMI Probation. The report sets out the key strengths of partnership working and identifies areas for improvements. The findings show that partnership working is integral to Plymouth’s approach to improving services for children and ell-established strategic planning and commissioning help to focus on improving services and meet the emotional and mental health needs of children. The Plymouth trauma-informed practice approach is starting to be visible in practice across the partnership. However, the report suggests that quality assurance by the Plymouth and Torbay safeguarding children partnership is underdeveloped – this means that the partnership does not have the benefit of a robust analysis of the impact of statutory training and multi-agency audits. In addition, the governance arrangements for the youth offending team (YOT) are weak and require urgent attention. The emotional well-being and mental health needs of children accessing the YOT are not yet fully known or understood, and the partnership cannot be confident that they are being met.

Multidisciplinary team perspectives on older adult hoarding and mental illness

Hoarding, characterised as animal or inanimate object hoarding, can have debilitating consequences for older adults who hoard, as well as for their families and communities. Because of the complex nature of hoarding, many believe that a multidisciplinary approach is needed to respond to hoarding. The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine multidisciplinary team perspectives on their involvement in older adult hoarding cases. Fifteen informants, as members of 4 hoarding teams and representing multiple agencies (e.g. adult protective services, mental health services, and animal control), were specifically asked to describe cases in which their team did or did not work well together to resolve a case. In doing so, the informants described: their team’s characteristics (e.g. team composition, and processes for working together); the need for team members’ increased awareness of hoarding as a mental illness; barriers to providing mental health services for older adults who hoard; and components of successful teamwork within the team and with the older adult as hoarder. Implications include research to better guide interventions, team training to develop common perspectives, and policy development that supports mental health representation on teams and in-home mental health treatment.
