Mental Health in Children and Young People


The facts (Young Minds 2015)
•    1 in 10 children and young people aged 5 - 16 suffer from a diagnosable mental health disorder
•    Between 1 in every 12 and 1 in 15 children and young people deliberately self-harm
•    More than half of all adults with mental health problems were diagnosed in childhood

Risk factors include :- (RCN 2014)
•    abuse/domestic violence
•    looked after children
•    academic failure
•    young offenders
•    chronic illness
•    bullying
•    family breakdown
•    death
•    young carers
•    disability

There is a range of mental health issues including:-
•    sleep difficulties
•    eating disorders
•    bed wetting
•    psychosomatic symptoms
•    anxiety
•    depression
•    self harm
•    substance misuse
•    ADHD
•    psychosis

CAMHS services:-
Tier 1 - Generic practitioners not mental health specialists eg GPS, health visitors, school nurses, teachers, social workers & youth workers .  Offer general advice and in certain cases, treatment for less severe problems, promote mental health, aid early identification of problems and refer to specialist services.

Tier 2 - Practitioners at this level tend to be CAMHS specialists working in community and primary care settings in a uni-disciplinary way (although many will also work as part of Tier 3 services).

For example, this can include primary mental health workers, psychologists and counsellors working in GP practices, paediatric clinics, schools and youth services.

Practitioners offer consultation to families and other practitioners, outreach to identify severe or complex needs which require more specialist interventions, assessment

Tier 3 - A specialist multi-disciplinary service for more severe, complex, or persistent disorders.

Tier 4 - day units & highly specialised out-patient out-patient teams and in-patient units.

This chat aims to look at the issues faced by paediatric nurses, school nurses etc when dealing with CAMHS in their daily work.

 Chat Summary

 

Mental Health in Children and Young People

We decided to do a joint topic with @weMHnurses on mentalhealth in children and young people.

Natalie @NatalieMHN from @weMHnurses agreed to co-hostthis chat.  Natalie works  as a CAMHS eating disorders nurse in aspecialised unit.

CAMHS is a 'hot topic' at the minute often talked about inthe media re lack of bed availability and increasing demand.  Hospital Play Specialist @spencer_sian echoedthe voice of many explaining that they have seen a huge increase in CYP mentalhealth on their ward. @hepworth_becky "it seems that as small districtpaeds unit, we are a holding place for CAHMs pts until a specialist bed isavailable".  @drljbaldwin(Consultant CAMHS nurse) explained that looking for specialist beds nationallytakes up a lot of their time.

Training

We started off by asking "Do non mental health trained professionals feel equipped to look afterYP with mental health issues?" @hepworth_becky replied honestly with"no...completely inadequate" and that she's "always anxious I'llsay the wrong thing and make matters worse" @robbradley01 agreed.

@spencer_sian explained that a lot of her work is "support-time, safe boundaries building and listening." and that as a playspecialist she is fortunate to have a bit more time too and can use  creative therapies.

@NatalieMHN shocked many by saying that "even mentalhealth nurses receive very little CAMHS training" as it's seen as aspecialty.

@AmyFrounks gave her personal experience as a YP "nursesaren't always comfortable - they need experience with MH before equipped. Theydon't always react well to MH"

@Girl_Interrupt_ gave her experiences as a parent andsuggested "why not have lived expert parents help with child MH training?"@AmyFrounks said it would be "equally as good to involve YP withexperience in training".

@spencer_sian explained that both herself and the schoolteacher have sought out further training in this area.

@AmyFrounks gave a great summary "MH nurses needspaeds experience and CYP nurses need MH training"

Support

@weMHnurses asked "Do you often have RMNs on paeds wards to help with CAMHS cases?

@hepworth_becky was lucky to have a consultant with adual MH/paeds qualification but obviously not available all the time.

There was a discussion about role of paediatric MH liaisonin hospitals.  @drljbaldwin has adedicated CAMH Liaison service, mostly for self harm & f/u in ED and Paedward in his area.

@cdodd09 said that their hospital spends a lot of money on agencynurses to 1-1 patients eg when waiting for T4 bed or even whilst sectioned.  @spencer_sian explained that they "oftenhave more than 1 RMN assigned to a CYP but even then the RMN not paediatrictrained".  @hepworth_becky said that"nearly all of our ward excess staffing costs can be related to MH pts".

Joint working

We asked about joint working between CAMHS and paediatricteams.  @cdodd09 gave a good example ofbeing invited on a CAMHS away day. @drjlbaldwin said we "need to buildtrusting relationships and understand each others stresses / viewpoints a bit better".  @AmyFrounks gave another good example of a"fab peads dr who organised weekly MDT's including CAMHS staff" butexplained this isn't the norm.

16 and 17 year olds

We asked if 16 and 17 yrd olds are they admitted to adultor children's wards? Are they still seen by CAMHS or adult teams?

@hepworth_becky said "they are given the choice ifpossible".  @cdodd09 explained thattheir hospital policy says "adult ward but seen by CAMHS however due tobed shortages often admitted to children's ward". @drjlbaldwin "some16, and more 17 yo's prefer to stay on MAU etc rather than go to paed ward.Still seen by CAMHS tho'"

Conclusion

It seems like all areas are suffering from an increase inCAMHS patients on their children's wards and a shortage of specialist bedsacross the country.  It was also agreed that nurses need more training and support.

Thanks top everyone  for an open and honest discussion
