Background Healthcare workers often report that they feel they lack the knowledge, skills and confidence to support young people with mental health problem This training has been developed directly in response to the views, experiences and needs of young people and staff working in acute hospital settings. We Can Talk was developed with funding by Health Education England at Barts Health NHS Trust and has now expanded to work with hospitals across England in collaboration with the Common Room, Healthy Teen Minds and the Child Outcomes Research Consortium (CORC). It has been developed by a partnership between young people and adults with lived experience of mental health difficulties, health care professionals and mental health professionals.

Training overview The aims of today are to: Develop an understanding of common mental health difficulties in children and young people Explore the different scenarios where you support children and young people who may be experiencing mental health difficulties Understand the experiences of children and young people with mental health difficulties Explore and understand how to communicate effectively with children and young people with mental health difficulties Explore and understand key approaches to supporting children and young people with mental health difficulties
Slide 7-

Things to keep in mind Mental health can be an emotive topic. If you need to take time out please do so. We want to learn from experience, but please try not to use names or personal details. Today is focussed on building on your existing skills and experience Today is all about learning together, sharing practice, ideas and experiences. Sometimes, the best way to learn is to share and reflect on examples where things haven’t gone so well. Please be respectful if people do share examples. Don’t worry if you’re not sure the correct terminology to use about mental health. It’s better to say something than stay quiet. It’s important to explore, discuss and debate, but try to challenge the idea not the person.
Slide 8-

Understanding: Your Role How do you support and care for children young people who present to hospital in general? Thinking about your job role: What do you see as your main responsibilities towards children and young people? What do you practically do to care for young people? What support do you provide to meet their needs? Write your ideas down on the flipchart paper. Try to be as specific as you can and focus on all presentations (not just mental health).
Slide 9-

Understanding: Your Role Now think about the times when you have supported children and young people with mental health difficulties in your role or service Now think about the times when you have supported children and young people with mental health difficulties in your role or service: Describe some of the common situations where you support children and young people with mental health difficulties. What do you see or notice about the young person? How do they act or behave? What do you currently do to support them? What do you find difficult, challenging or feel uncertain about? What are these experiences like for you?

“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” World Health Organization, 2014

“Mental health is defined as a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community.” World Health Organization, 2014

When should I worry? Impact on every day functioning Rapid deterioration (in any area) Disengagement Significant change in behaviour Risk to self/others Bizarre behaviours/beliefs/statements
Slide 37-

Understanding behaviour and communication
Slide 38-

Understanding: Behaviour
Slide 39-

Understanding: Behaviour Choose one behaviour you encounter when supporting young people with mental health difficulties in your clinical practice Think about the young person: What do you see or notice? How does the young person act? What do they do? Try to imagine how the young person might be feeling - what could some of their underlying feelings and worries might be? What are their core needs in this situation?
Slide 40-

Understanding: Behaviour Choose one behaviour you encounter when supporting young people with mental health difficulties in your clinical practice Think about what this is like for you: How might you be acting? What might the young person see or notice? What are some of your underlying feelings and worries? What are your needs in this situation?
Slide 41-

Understanding: Behaviour Regardless of which mental health difficulty a young person is experiencing, they have core needs like all patients; their behaviour is not just a product of their mental health issue Behaviour is a form of communication – we need to try and understand what they are trying to express Young people are individuals – 10 young people with the same mental health difficulty will all have different underlying feelings, worries, wants. This is why it is important to understand and respond to underlying feelings, core needs, rather than the visible behaviours (or assumptions about behaviour) All children and young people have the same core needs - which is exactly what healthcare workers are skilled and experienced at supporting. You don’t have to be an expert in mental health to help.

Hands up for harm! Listen to the following scenarios: If you think the behaviour or situation described is an example of self harm, raise your hand.
Slide 44-

Defining: Self Harm
Slide 45-

Understanding: Self Harm Are these the only types of self harm? Cutting Burning / scalding Head banging Breaking bones Punching body Inserting/swallowing objects/poisons Throwing self against something
Slide 46-

Understanding: Self Harm What about? Smoking Tattooing Risk Taking Behaviours Body Piercing Eating Disorders Alcohol use Drug Use
Slide 47-

“Self harm is a way of expressing very deep distress” MIND, 2012
Slide 48-

Understanding:Experience
Slide 49-

Understanding:Experience Why do children and young people come to hospital in mental health crisis? Hospital isn’t the first choice for young people experiencing mental health difficulties. They need professional care to stay safe, just like those attending with physical needs. When forced to seek medical care, they do so with feelings of shame and unworthiness.
Slide 50-

Understanding:Experience Hearing children and young people’s voices “I will not go up there anymore, mainly because I feel like such a time waster, and I hate all the questions they ask you … I just want to get back home, hide under the duvet and die of shame … I've ended up with numerous infections however from not getting wounds treated.” “I can understand their frustration at having to stitch someone up knowing that there is a possibility of them returning the next day with a new injury or after re-opening the stitches … They are only human and have bad days just like anyone else.”
Slide 51-

Understanding:Experience Positive and negative experience of mental health support in acute hospitals Staff attitudes/behaviours have more impact on young people’s experience and are more important than a lack of knowledge around mental health. Negative experiences mean young people are less able to cope when they leave hospital and encourages young people to abscond when attending due to their mental health. CAMHS don’t always get this right either, and the same goes for non-healthcare organisations such as schools struggling to support young people in mental health difficulty.
Slide 52-

Understanding:Experience Hearing children and young people’s voices “The last time I had a blood transfusion the consultant said that I was wasting blood that was meant for patients after they'd had operations or accident victims. He asked whether I was proud of what I'd done…” “…they have concentrated on medically patching me up and getting me out. Never have I been asked any questions regarding whether this is the first time I have self-harmed or if I was to do it again or how I intend to deal with it.”
Slide 53-

Understanding:Experience Positive and negative experience of mental health support in acute hospitals Children and young people have a better experience if involved in decision making and if staff explain the reasons for/the goals of assessment They like being given a chance to talk about their problems Children and young people who self harm say that it is a better experience when they can talk through what led up to the event. The most positive encounters are where YP receive ‘treatment as usual’: non-discriminatory care, delivered with kindness and empathy, not just focussing on the physical aspects (if applicable).
Slide 54-

Understanding:Experience Hearing children and young people’s voices “I allowed a student nurse to observe and she was really kind and asked me why I self-harm because she said she didn't really understand it, and it was really nice … to be able to actually help someone learn about it.” “He... took great pains to suture very neatly – when I commented on this he said “I don't want it to leave any scars” to which I replied that I am covered in them. He said “not on my watch”.” “The nurse consultant who assessed me was very easy to talk to. She explained everything clearly in a non-threatening way. It felt like a friendly chat. She was great!”
Slide 55-

Understanding:Experience Summary Whilst there may be many perceived challenges to supporting children and young people with mental health difficulties, it is the small things that make the biggest difference: Care Compassion Empathy Validation Reassurance Time to talk All things that healthcare workers are highly skilled and experienced in doing.
Slide 56-

Communication
Slide 57-

Support: Communication Key areas of good communication: Talking about and acknowledging a young person’s distress and mental health difficulty Understanding and meeting their core needs as a patient Understanding risk and safety Involving young people in making choices and decisions about their care and support
Slide 58-

Support: Communication Communication about risk Always ask about: History – What’s happened and when, how long Hope – Understanding intention Suicidal Ideas - “What did you hope would happen?” “Did you think it might kill you? Suicidal Intent - “Did you want to die?” What helps them to feel safe
Slide 59-

Support: Communication Communication about risk Always ask the young person: What you can do to make them feel safe and supported What helps if they start to feel more distressed What you will see or notice if they start to feel worse or become more distressed (all young people show this in different ways e.g. some may become more withdrawn meaning it is hard for staff to notice Talk to the young person and agree with them how they can let you know if they are starting to feel more distressed
Slide 60-

Support: Communication Having a go!
Slide 61-

Support: Communication 1. Entering the room What choice is there to enter? Introductions 2. What is the conversation about? Explaining why you are there, what you want to talk about and why 3. Understanding What has brought the CYP to hospital? Validate presentation 4. Exploring risk and intention What did they hope would happen? Did they intend to harm themselves? Did they want to kill themselves ? 5. Exploring current risk Do they still want to die? Could they tell us if they did? How can we help keep you safe? 6. Informing others Choice for the young person on how? Remember to use: Validation Empathy Open/closed questions Calm, caring tone of voice
Slide 62-

Support: Communication What does it feel like to change the way we communicate? Abrines-Jaume, N., Midgley, N., Hopkins, K., Hoffman, J., Martin, K., Law, D. and Wolpert, M. (2014). 'A qualitative analysis of implementing shared decision making in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services in the United Kingdom: Stages and facilitators'. Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry.
Slide 63-

Support: Communication Summary of key messages and further resources Saying something is better than saying nothing Intention is more important than getting it perfect Communication is highly valued by young people. Conversations make them feel heard, seen and valued. This alone can dramatically change their experience. Mefirst.org.uk has a host of resources to support communication with CYP in healthcare

Support: Practical CATASTROPHE
Slide 66-

Support: Practical Distraction and relaxation Paper and pens are valuable tools! Listen to music Board games, cards Breathing exercises (YouTube!) Progressive muscle relaxation Mindfulness (Mindful Eating) Consider strategies specific to your clinical team or environment
Slide 67-

Risk and Protective Factors Support: Mental Health
Slide 68-

Support: Mental Health Risk factors Genetic influences Low IQ and learning disabilities Specific development delay or neuro-diversity Communication difficulties Difficult temperament Physical illness Academic failure Low self-esteem

Support: Mental Health Protective factors A supportive relationship with a parent/carer or trusted adult Clear, consistent discipline and boundaries Long term relationships Support with educational difficulties Pathways for child to raise problems Secure attachment experience Good communication skills, sociability and humour Being a planner and having a belief in control Problem solving skills and a positive attitude
Slide 71-

Support: Mental Health Protective factors Experiences of success and achievement Faith or spirituality Capacity to reflect Sense of belonging Positive peer influence Community integration/network Good housing Opportunities for valued social roles (team captain, leadership) Team sports/activities
Slide 72-

Support: Mental Health Promoting protective factors Draw two large faces on your giant paper (one happy and one sad) What could we do in our clinical environments to promote positive mental well-being? What potential risk factors might young people experience during their stay with us?
Slide 73-

Support: Mental Health Protective factors Relationships are the most important factor in young people’s experience in hospital. As with all patients, their time and contact with you can make a significant impact. It’s the small things that make the biggest difference to someone’s experience.
