  2. The Prevalence of Mental Health Problems in CYP

  3. Future in Mind, 2015 • Investment into children’s mental health services over 5 years (2015 – 2020) • Investment to transform services, not to do more of the same • Mental health is everyone’s business. • Early intervention and prevention and building resilience (rather than treatment) provides best outcomes • Working together • Easy access to CAMHS. • ‘Don’t pass me on’ – working with the person who is working with the child. Skilling the workforce.

  4. Primary Mental Health Team Objectives 2016 - 2018 • Identify a named PMHW for each school • Roll out a training programme for schools • Provide resources and signposting information • Provide consultations – CAMHS Advice Line (0151 488 8453) • Self referrals into CAMHS • Peer education programme in secondary schools • Roll out ‘Next Step Cards’ licenses and training • Develop links with social care and under 5s workforce • Develop a parent PMHW offer • Work with CCG and public health to improve pathways

  5. Advice Line – Activity In the last year (April – March 2017/18) the line has provided consultation to 1545 callers. Demand for the line has grown steadily month by month since it launched, with the only noticeable reductions in demand during school holidays, see Figure 1. Figure 1: Calls to CAMHS Advice Line 2017/2018 (* NB please note March data was incomplete at the time of writing)

  6. AdviceLine – Who phones? The main themes of the qualitative feedback given were: Feeling understood and listened to. Receiving good quality advice. Feeling reassured. Signposting.

  7. Training • 70% of all schools have now attended 1 or more training days • New training dates will be released in July for 2018/19. It will look something like this:

  8. Next Step Training • A communication tool for engaging children and young people • Commissioners bought 300 Next Step Licences for the Wirral Children’s Workforce – 2 per secondary school and 1 per primary school • Positive feedback from attendees (1 day training)

  9. Peer Education Project • We train 2 6th form students in Mental Health First Aid (2 day course) • 6th Form students prepare and deliver a ‘Mental Health First Aid’ lesson for each Year 9 PSHE class (with our help) • Has your secondary school participated? Student 3: “We are from an all-boys school, where there is a stigma attached for lads to talk about mental health. Mental health isn’t something that gets spoken about as lots of lads keep their feelings in, we think the Peer Education Project could help us to change that”. Student 1: “One of the most important things I’ve learned from the project is how to respond to those who need help. Not having to solve someone’s issues, that’s something that’s quite important, and I didn’t realise. I thought I had to be able to solve everyone’s problems but I don’t. I just need to be there for them.” Student 2: “You learn to pick up signs, someone in my family got depression and I was able to help them. “ Teacher: “I am really impressed with the whole process and resources we have been provided with. The peer educators have gained so much from it. Parents were also very complimentary and said their lads had been talking to them for once!”

  10. Accelerator schools • We have held ½ termly meetings with a small number of accelerator schools over the last year ‘We believe mental health mental health is everyone’s business, is vitally important and there is a growing unmet need. We (health and education) will work in partnership to improve mental health outcomes for children and young people on the Wirral. We will do this by increasing our own skills and confidence and helping other schools do the same.’ (mission statement)

  11. What Impact has the Project had so Far? • Reduced hospital admissions for self harm / attempted suicide (40%) • Better relationships between health and education • Improved confidence in talking about mental health • Reduced stigma • Advice line extended to 10pm and weekends

  12. Wirral CAMHS Structure
