Abstract:

In spite of the need for child and adolescent mental health (CAMH) services across the globe, very little has been done to develop and strengthen CAMH in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). South Africa is an example of an LMIC where CAMH services have been very limited as a result of various potential factors, including the legacy of apartheid, stigma associated with mental health, and lack of priority of CAMH. In this thesis, we set out to generate an evidence-base about CAMH services in one South African province to inform service strengthening across the full healthcare system through

Abstract:

Despite older adolescence being a risk period for the development of mental health concerns, mental health service engagement is low amongst 16-18 year olds. As therapeutic attendance is linked to clinical outcome, it is important to understand engagement in this population. There is a paucity of research looking specifically at the older adolescent engagement phenomenon. Previous qualitative research into adolescent experiences has provided rich and detailed results. Ten 16-18 years olds, engaged in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, were recruited from two London-based services. Ea

Abstract:

Adolescents have a high prevalence of mental health problems but are unlikely to seek help. Adults, including parents are important within this process. The study therefore aimed to develop a theory of the influence of parents upon adolescent help seeking. Method Eighteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with adolescents, their parents and clinicians working within Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). A grounded theory analysis allowed for the in-depth exploration of participants’ experiences. Findings A model was developed identifying help seeking as a family journey.

Second, a systematic review examined evidence from 30 studies that had investigated associations between dimensions of parenting and CU traits.

Research has shown that, by the time an individual reaches adolescence, they are likely to have experienced at least one traumatic event, and, when compared to trauma in adulthood, exposure is at its peak during the adolescent years. Further research has examined negative sequelae associated with traumatic experiences, and has found psychological outcomes such as depression, behaviour disorders, and PTSD to be highly prevalent amongst traumatised adolescents. It has also been consistently found that, amongst those adolescents with poor psychological responses to trauma, incidences of multiple

Abstract:

In 1999 New York enacted Kendra's Law, in memory of Kendra Webdale, a young woman who was pushed to her death in front of an oncoming train by a man with untreated schizophrenia. Under Kendra's Law a court can order a person with a mental illness to participate in an "assisted outpatient treatment" (AOT) program. Kendra's Law includes a number of procedural due process protections including the right to a hearing and the right to counsel. Still critics argue that people with mental illnesses are routinely ordered to participate in the AOT program based on no more than "a bare recital of the s

Abstract:

Despite a well-documented gender pattern of adolescent mental health, public health research investigating possible influencing factors from a gender-theoretical approach is scarce. This study aimed to explore what factors and circumstances are related to adolescent mental health and to apply a gender analysis to the findings in order to improve the understanding of the relationships between life circumstances and the gendered patterning of mental health among young people. The study population was 16-19-year-old Swedish students and data was collected by means of focus groups (N=29) and sel

Abstract:

Background: Child and adolescent mental health teams have traditionally been constructed using multidisciplinary teams of different professions. Current workforce policy in mental health, however, stresses team function and the skills and competences required to fulfil that function which leads to a questioning of professional identity within those teams. Aims: This study aims therefore to define how professional identity is constructed in the policy discourse and amongst a sample of current practitioners in mental health teams. Methodology: This study uses a linguistic method, Critical Discou

Abstract:

Evidence indicates disparities in the help-seeking experiences of Black African families engaging with Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). UK health policy aims to reduce these inequalities and ensure that services are appropriate in meeting the needs of a multicultural society. Literature exploring the reasons for service use disparities has identified numerous correlates of service engagement, however the experience and operation of these correlates is less well understood. As such, clinicians lack a depth of knowledge that could facilitate their work. Help-seeking research
