The challenges facing Children’s mental health provision in the UK. The case for a schools based model of integrated mental health support for children, their families and educational providers. • The workshop will explore the national and local challenges to accessing mental health provision for Children and Young people. • A presentation of an alternative provision model for mental health support in Schools for Children, Families and Staff. • Mental Health in Children and Young People National Context • 1 in 10 children and young people aged 5 - 16 suffer from a diagnosable mental health disorder - that is around three children in every class (1). • Between 1 in every 12 and 1 in 15 children and young people deliberately self-harm (2). • There has been a big increase in the number of young people being admitted to hospital because of self harm. Over the last ten years this figure has increased by 68% (3). • More than half of all adults with mental health problems were diagnosed in childhood. Less than half were treated appropriately at the time (4). • Nearly 80,000 children and young people suffer from severe depression (5). • Over 8,000 children aged under 10 years old suffer from severe depression (6). • 72% of children in care have behavioural or emotional problems - these are some of the most vulnerable people in our society (7). • 95% of imprisoned young offenders have a mental health disorder. Many of them are struggling with more than one disorder (8). • The number of young people aged 15-16 with depression nearly doubled between the 1980s and the 2000s (9). • • • • • • • • • • • SOURCES 1 Green, H., McGinnity, A., Meltzer, H., et al.

Local Context • • • • • • Challenges to CAMHS Funding / Resources User Engagement - Voluntary Referral Process – criteria Diagnostic Lead – elimination model Current Acute Presentations - Inpatient Tier 1 and 2 services reduced – preventative/supportive resilience development reduced • The Public Health England report submitted to a health select committee inquiry cites research indicating a sharp worsening of the trends. In the last three to four years, there has been a steep rise in self-harm. • Childline reports that in 2013 it experienced a 41% increase in reports of self-harm and a 33% increase of children reporting suicidal thoughts over the previous year. • Public Health England concludes that 30% of English adolescents have sub-clinical mental health problems In the select committee hearing, Peter Fonagy, made the point: "We make children very responsible for their lives but we give them very little control over them." later he added “The combination of responsibility and lack of control always creates stress in anyone at any age.” Health Committee Oral evidence: Children’s and Adolescent Mental Health and CAMHS, HC 1129 Tuesday 1 April 2014 • http://data.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/co mmitteeevidence.svc/evidencedocument/heal th-committee/childrens-and-adolescentmental-health-and-camhs/oral/8443.html NHS England report on mental health services • The presentation says that 35% of adults with anxiety or diagnosable depression are not in contact with mental health services, but this rises to 76% of those aged five to 15. • It notes that only 6% of spending on mental health goes on services aimed at children and young people, even though 50% of lifetime mental illness starts by the age of 14. England's child mental health services 'failing three-quarters of kids' 'Cinderella service' hit by budget cuts and increasing demand Jamie Doward The Observer, Sunday 18 May 2014 • Only a quarter of all mental health conditions are receiving the treatment they need, according to a study produced by the body charged with improving the health service in England. NHS report • The report also provides evidence that, as a result of a rise in young people needing treatment for complex mental health conditions, assessments for conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism are being delayed, while others are not being identified or treated Jamie Doward The Observer, Sunday 18 May 2014 CAMHS Data Mapping Review Discontinued post April 2010 Sarah Brennan, Chief Executive of YoungMinds says, “The last national study was done 10 years ago and so we have no up-to-date national information on the numbers of children and young people with mental health problems," Brennan said. "Planning service provision without current data is extremely difficult, fraught with risks and not cost-effective."

Factors Contributing to Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing Environmental / Social Psychological Biological / Diagnostic Developmental/ Life Experiences/ Life events (past and present) http://www.nhsinform.co.uk/mentalhealth • • • Mental health and wellbeing is an important part of overall health and wellbeing and can be affected by different factors, including life events such as relationship breakdowns, bereavement and work stress as well as mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety. Health Scotland has two definitions which are helpful in understanding what we mean by mental wellbeing and mental illness: Mental wellbeing: There are many different definitions of mental wellbeing but they generally include areas such as: life satisfaction, optimism, self esteem, mastery and feeling in control, having a purpose in life, and a sense of belonging and support. Mental illness: Mental illness refers to a diagnosable condition that significantly interferes with an individual's cognitive, emotional or social abilities e.g. depression, anxiety, schizophrenia. It is also important to remember that it is natural to feel happy when something positive happens to you, to feel sad or angry when a bad event occurs, or scared and anxious if you are dealing with something worrying. Part of ensuring good mental health and wellbeing is recognising that it is natural to feel different emotions, but also knowing when you perhaps need some help in dealing with life events and mental health conditions.

Psychological Services for Schools copyright 2013 Module KN1 Introduction to Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing Definitions • Mental Health • Emotional Wellbeing Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing are interlinked, but not necessarily causal. In children with ASD or Asperger Syndrome much of their behaviour could be understood as symptoms similar to mental health conditions such as OCD, Anxiety, Mood swings. This type of behaviour is sometimes dismissively referred to as ‘part of being on the spectrum’. Whilst there may be some truth to this, these symptoms could also be an indication of an emotional disturbance indicative of a mental health condition. Early detection and intervention is key to maintaining good emotional wellbeing and could be seen as a preventative factor in the development of Mental Health. Displaying concerning behaviour may be indicative of a mental health condition but it could also be a response to abnormal life events or a response to normal developmental experiences in childhood. Children’s presentation must always be understood within the context of development, maturation, family context, early developmental history, comorbid presentations such as neurodevelopmental conditions and wider systemic understanding.

It says the Maudsley Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services reports cuts across its London boroughs ranging from 17% to 38%, and quotes the concerns of mental health teams across the country. • One team said that its £1m budget was to be slashed by £300,000 from next year. As a result, it was having to draw up plans to become an urgent assessment and urgent treatment service only. • Specialists would be unable to deliver the therapy for which they had been trained. Another acknowledged that its specialist and early intervention services were being dismantled. • A third said that an increase in both routine and emergency presentations had left it with no choice but to give priority to clinical risk cases over routine follow-up activity, such as assessments for ADHD and autism. • The document quotes statistics, which reveal that in England there is only one mental health specialist per 30,000 young people under 20, compared with one per 5,300 in Switzerland, 6,000 in Finland and 7,500 in France.
