,

I would definitely suggest Solihull Psychotherapeutic Approach - evidence

based and really useful conceptual framework. As a practiced HV using

behavioural modification and counsellor I found the Solihull a cohesive way

of bringing the two together.

Whils writing - could I ask if you would critique a draft of my research

that I am preparing for possible publication? I have no experience of

writing for publication and would value your opinion - especially as you

were kind enough to read the full document and therefore know something of

it.

Further thoughts on the topic - if the HVs have no behavioural modification

training you might like to look at Solution Focussed Intervention - again

another evidence-based package.

and Ann,

In our area the HVs, using Solihull + behaviour modification are regarded as

therapeutic practitioners at Tiers 1 & 2 for CAMHS purposes and I am

insisting that this is acknowledged within the systems.

Further, a group of us who have been receiving monthly psychology support

for some time are discussing with the CAMHS team that those patients who are

Tiers 2/3 but waiting for CAMHS intervention should receive joint

psychology/HV work - again I am pushing for HVs to be acknowledged as a

provider of a much valued (by families and CAMHS team) secondary service at

this level.

Toity,

It is interesting that the number of referrals to CAMHS has been falling in

Bristol as in Bath we have a Single Point of Entry system and there has been

a bolus of referrals from teachers with problem behaviour in small children

(perhaps as a result HVs stopped using the 'Behavioural Check List' and

follow up at the 3

year developmental assessment).

Ros and others; I am just embarking, with colleagues, on trying to make

a case that CAMHS/mental health service use (and thus waiting lists)

could be reduced by the provision of a suitable health visiting service.

Does anyone know of any specific research please? It would particularly

useful if it could inform my ideas of what counts as 'suitable' in this

context!

, the post I have, Specialist Health Visitor in Infant Mental Health

has now been evaluated by the University of the West of England, the

evaluation is available from jenine.ransome@..., the

cost is I think £4.50 plus postage. You may find it useful, also the sure

start programme in Sunderland is carrying out valuable work in increasing

the sensitivity of mothers to their baby's cues, the email for this is

svanberg@... , I will let you know when I hear of anything else. Ros

Dear ,

Can I suggest that you look at the and Spurr paper on the Centre for

Parent and Child Support website. The parent adviser service used health

visitors and other health professionals to home visit clients with

identified problems referred to the service. I am not sure if its quite

what you want but you might find it useful. I think it might be helpful to

email Hilton or ring him especially re the ideas discussed yesterday.

Best wishes,

Thanks . I know that paper and cite it often; I am sure I

should re-read it to make sure I am not mis-quoting it! Having just

checked there are a few others on the site that I have not read, so

thanks for that. For others who are interested, this is the research

that shows (amongst other things) that the key to identifying health

needs does not lie in questioning, but in listening to what clients

have to say. With encouragement, clients can also identify their own

solutions. The web address is

Thanks Ros; I will look that out.

It just occurs to me to mention, in case anyone else is wondering about

wanting to make changes that affect commissioning of services, that

this is the time of year to engage colleagues, public health directors,

children's service planners etc etc., because the annual spending round

will be 'under discussion' in PCTs up and down the land. Once it gets

to about November, decisions have usually been made, even though they

are rarely finalised much before the middle of March for April.

I am very interested in your work - here in cambridge a group of interested

professionals from health visiting and mental health have set up CAMPIP -

Cambridge Parent Infant Project looking at early interevention, all of us

sharing the strong belief that a health visiting intervention could make a

huge difference to CAMHS waiting lists not to mention long term outcomes for

children and their families.

We put on a conference in May which I missed because I was sunning myself in

Scotland but there was, i believe a very interesting presentation from a

project in Sunderland looking at this issue.

Dear - I presume you know about Jane Barlow's work - The

Oxfordshire Home visiting study which is a randomised controlled trila

of specific healht visiting interventions for vulnerable mothers

identified at the antenatal booking clinic. All the health visitors

delivering the intervention have been trained in the parent- Adviser

model devised and advocated by Hilton Dacies and Crispin Day - they are

doing all sorts of excting things over therre in Oxford!!

p.s. I can't remember - are emotional and behavioural problems in

children one of the areas of focus in this years CPHVA conference?

Dear - I am embarking on getting to-gether some baseline measures

of H.V and G.P experience of identifying and managing children with EBP

as well as their experience of the referral pathway. I am also trying to

collate some prevalence information to establish the size of the problem

and how it relates to the predicted prevalence from the 1999 NOS survey

on mental disorders in children aged 5 - 15.

An early finding is that even though CAMHS services do have increasingly

longer waiting lists, to indicate that they do not have the manpower to

manage what they've got, that infact primary care practitioners have

ceased to refer to CAMHS in many cases because of the length of the

wating lists and because the referral criteria for CAMHS can be quite

exclusive and the CAMHS service would not provide a service for the

majority of families that practitioners in primary care want to refer,

in the interests of early intervention, anyway!!

I have run 3 focus groups with H.V's and now, to-gether with a primary

mental health worker, we are looking at devising a questionnaire to

elicit the relevant information from G.P's, H.V's. I have also been

running a series of 8 day training programmes on early intervention

based on the Solihull approach, for health visitors, and we are hoping

to get the course permanently written into the education contract so

that all newly qualified health visitors will be able to access it. We

are very excited because we have just managed to get the funding to do

the same sort of thing for postnatal depression training at APU. Thanks

to the hard work and determination of a steering group, with

Crome playing the key role as the inside man,and consultancy advice from

Sheelah Seeley, we are going live in September with a 4 day training

programme ( 3 days at APU and the fourth day out in the field) that will

be available for all health visitors apponted to positions in Essex who

have completetd their training in July. It's been a battle but I think

it's been worth it!! Especially as this course will now be available

every year for all newly qualified health visitors henceforth.

I have also been on the Care Index training mentioned by many in

connection with the Sunderland Sure Start programme and to-gether with a

consultant child psychotherpaist and a specialist nurse we are looking

at how we could use this technique in practice.

I am involved in the group of people who are following up that report -

the next steps etc. I am not sure what her ('s) brief was but

there are no midwifery studies included in her report as well as

various other flaws.

I was part of a discussion a while ago with CAMHS and HVs re the effect

of hv intervention on their referrals and a great debate ensued! Our

conclusions were that it would be likely that the number of referrasl

might increase but that these would be more appropriate referrals. As

metioned ealier in ths email conversation, the referral ratre to CAMHS

from hvs has been reducing in many areas due to long waiting lists etc.

and therefore agreements between the 2 teams needed to ensure what

was and what was not appropriate.

In Bristol, when I was helping to implement the training for the

Solihull Approach there was going to be a 1 point referral system for

all referrals and there was a plan that the speech therapists etc, for

whom the referrals were for, would have been informed of the level

and nature of the intervention that the families/children would have

received when seen by a hv who had been trained in the Solihull

Approach.

Whilst I think that the SA appears to work well and is popular with hvs

we need to be aware that it has not been evaluated externally (external

to Solihull). I would love to get the money to do so!!!

Dear Toity,

Was there a paper produced about the Solihull Approach in the Community

Practitioner a while ago? I am trying to find anything that has been

written apart from a short article that I have in the Child Psychotherapy

Trust Review of 1999.

Dear Toity, I wonder How much research has been carried out on the ages of

children referred to CAMHS In my experience they tend to be five or over. It

would seem to me that we to be should be offering services that are

appropriate for the 0-4 years old. I guess this is what this trawl for ideas

these parents before the problem becomes chronic, Any ideas? Ros
