How can children in the UK with mental health difficulties be best supported?
Need to increase children's resilience
The resilience model and how it is used to support children (see additional materials for an example)
What resilience is
Attributes of resilience e.g. Werner & Smith, 1982
How intrinsic and extrinsic factors interact to support resilience e.g. Beard and Dunn, 1992; Elder, 1974
Challenges to traditional practices
Criticisms of the resilience model
CAMHS
Strengths of this system for supporting young people with mental health difficulties
Weaknesses of provision (see Thompson & Hooper recommended reading in additional materials & the compulsory prep for this lecture)
Stigma associated with mental health
Possible solution: meet children in non-stigmatised environments
Possible solution: Change social stereotypes e.g. down's syndrome campaign
Austerity measures
Possible solution: Make greater use of voluntary and digital resources (e.g. silvercloud)
Only 25-35% of children access the support they need
Possible solution: make greater use of voluntary services
Inconsistent provision for young people after they turn 18
Possible solution: Greater journey planning post-18 for all young people in the CAMHS system
Possible solution: Improve access to support and interventions where it is needed
