Children’S Views

Objective: This pilot study explored children's perspectives of an initial assessment at outpatient child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS). Method: A semi-structured qualitative interview was undertaken with nine children aged 7–12 years. Transcribed interviews were analyzed to reveal common themes. Results: Children generally coped well with the interview. They identified themes involving stigma, qualities and approaches of staff, aspects of the CAMHS environment, and anxiety about attending CAMHS as key issues. Conclusions: This pilot study suggests that it is feasible to interview children regarding their perspectives on attending a CAMHS. Children's views of CAMHS are required to help inform developmentally appropriate service delivery.

The transition from child and adolescent to adult mental health services for young people with mental health problems is of international concern. Despite the high prevalence of mental disorders during adolescence and their tendency to continue during adulthood, the majority of young people do not experience continuity of care. The aim of this review paper is to unravel the complexity of transitional mental healthcare to clinicians, policy makers and mental health service managers, and to address challenges to a smooth transition process at all levels.

The epidemic of formarrhoea blighting adult mental health services is spreading to child and adolescent mental health. Threatening to arrive all about the same time are forms to do with risk assessment, care programme approach, outcome and activity recording, Commission for Health Improvement, child protection, assessment of trainees … and more. They will likely cause an avalanche when added to the mountain of existing forms and Government circulars already piled up on my desk. Forms are increasingly governing all aspects of clinical practice. They threaten to get in the way of doing the job.
