🚨We've published a systematic review and meta-analysis investigating whether our best-evidenced PTSD therapies for children and young people improve social and interpersonal outcomes in RCT's https://t.co/WUbafZYmOW
Given the importance of social and interpersonal factors for mental health (especially following trauma), perhaps we need to think about how we assess and address interpersonal difficulties within psychotherapy with young people🫂
Back in March, my PhD care-experienced advisory team (CE-AT) linked up with another CE-AT led by @rosie_mcguire. In our in-person 1-day workshop, we shared research findings and reflected on "who needs to hear what" (e.g., carers, SWs). Read about it here: https://t.co/tUk1AcTdNt
Most kids in care in England cannot access direct psychotherapy (let alone tf-CBT) due to service set-up. This is a solvable problem!
- Joined-up working btw social care & CAMHS
- Priority access to CAMHS
- Prioritise high quality assessment
Already good examples out there
