1 A new Child and Adolescent Mental Heath Service (CAMHS) Have your say James Fortune Lead Commissioner, Children s Services, Wiltshire Council/Wiltshire CCG

2 Developing an improved Children and Young People s (CYP) Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health Service We are commissioning a new CAMH Service across the Swindon, Wiltshire and Bath and North East Somerset geographical footprint. A modern service is needed to meet the changing needs of children and young people and respond to the ambitions for change and improvement set out in Future in Mind, the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health and our Local Transformation Plan for Children and Young People s Mental Health and Wellbeing. Following a competitive tender exercise, Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust has been selected as the preferred provider. We are now working with Oxford Health to shape the service delivery model with stakeholders. This will inform the development of the service specification which will include outlining how the impact of the service will be measured.

3 A new service delivery model Developed nationally by the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families and The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, Oxford Health has put forward the THRIVE Model as the proposed service delivery model for CAMHS in Wiltshire. The THRIVE Model conceptualises five needs-based groupings for children and young people with mental health issues and their families; thriving, coping (also known as getting advice), getting help, getting more help and getting risk support. Based on national research in terms of what works, the model then outlines the input that is required for each group. The model looks at CAMHS as a whole system recognising the important contribution that all agencies across health, education and social care (including the voluntary sector) have in supporting CYP emotional wellbeing and mental health needs. It represents a new model of care which is integrated, person centred and provides a needs-led approach to delivering mental health services for children, young people and their families.

4 Children and young people adjusting to life circumstances. Mild/temporary difficulties e.g. bullying, bereavement, parents separating. CYP s needs Children and young people with mild to moderate mental health difficulties who would benefit from focused evidence based treatment with clear aims e.g. anxiety disorder. Children and young people who are unable to benefit from evidence based treatment and remain a significant concern and risk, including those who often go into crisis. Children and young people are resilient, emotionally well and have the skills to manage their emotions and mental health Children and young people with more severe mental health difficulties who require significant input including extensive longer term treatment which may include some inpatient care and extensive outpatient provision e.g. psychosis, eating disorders, emerging personality disorders.

5 Digital support ( , phone, web); significant role for schools and parents/carers - good support and interventions available in school; help and advice for parents/carers and professionals working in universal services. WHAT WORKS Community CAMHS Provider takes the lead and offers evidence based treatment and interventions. Multi-agency collaboration where social care may be the lead agency. Target at risk groups, awareness raising and promote psychological wellbeing and health at a whole community level. Community CAMHS Provider takes the lead and offers evidence based specialist interventions and treatment.

6 Key principles of the THRIVE model (1) Cultural shift from being a diagnostic service (medical model) to being a service which can support and offer advice to those who have concerns about CYP emotional & mental health and will offer evidenced based interventions when required (social model). No more service tiers as endorsed by Future in Mind and received well by local stakeholders through consultation events. One Single Point of Access but also No Wrong Door. No family or child/young person will be turned away because they do not meet service criteria no more inappropriate referrals. All children and young people will receive an offer of the right help according to their needs.

7 Key principles of the THRIVE model (2) At a minimum all children, young people and families will be able to access information and advice. Every child/young person/family will have access to a named supporter to help them navigate their way around the system. CAMHS works as a whole system rather than as just one provider - stronger partnerships local integrated, multi-agency care pathways that enable the delivery of effective, accessible, holistic evidencebased care. Bigger emphasis on early intervention and prevention with focus on helping children and young people to build resilience as well as encourage self-help techniques. CAMHS much more visible in community settings. Treatments and interventions will be evidence based (CYP IAPT/NICE approved)

8 What age related difficulties will be addressed by the service? 0-4 years: Concerns about attachment, routines and boundary setting, separation anxiety. 4-8 years: Anxiety, aggression, oppositional or challenging behaviour, concerns about attachment, low self-esteem, bereavement, loss, trauma, routines and boundary setting, hyperactivity, emotional distress, low mood. 8 years upward: Anxiety, low mood, depression, withdrawn behaviour, compulsive and obsessive behaviour patterns, low selfesteem, distorted body image, issues regarding gender/identity, inappropriate sexual behaviour, substance misuse, bereavement, loss, self-harm, eating disorders.

9 The range of conditions to be addressed Emotional and behavioural disorders (moderate to severe). Conduct disorder and oppositional defiant disorder. Eating disorders. Deliberate Self-harm. Depression and Suicidal thoughts. Dual diagnosis including comorbid drug and alcohol use. Neuropsychiatric conditions. Attachment disorders. Post-traumatic stress disorders and trauma.

10 Access into the service In Wiltshire the service will be available to all CYP aged 0-18 who are registered with a Wiltshire GP. CYP from military families living within Wiltshire will also have access to the service. CYP and their families can self-refer, although this is best done in collaboration with an adult. The opportunity to self-refer will be proactively marketed by Oxford Health. Schools, in particular, will be informed that a referral via a GP is no longer required to access the service.
