The Mental Health Strategy 2017-2027 states “We will deliver a focus on prevention and early intervention for children, [&] young people”<\/em>. It promises to take a whole systems approach recognising the importance of specialist services but also the importance of early interventions in supporting children and young people with mental health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the Arts Psychotherapies we have responded by partnering with Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) to provide accessible psychological services to children and young people focused on resilience building<\/strong> and inclusion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have arts psychotherapists based within each of the CAMHS Community Teams in Edinburgh<\/a>, East Lothian<\/a> and Midlothian<\/a><\/strong>. Our non-directive use of art and music plays a significant role in establishing a therapeutic alliance which then enables the opportunity for resilience to emerge, and growth and change – which is adapted to each individual child’s needs, choices and goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People<\/strong> (RHCYP) we provide individual and group Arts Psychotherapies treatments for the Inpatient Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service <\/strong>and in the Paediatric Psychology Liaison Service (PPALS)<\/strong> addressing the emotional and mental health needs associated with physical health problems in children and young people attending the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Accessible and early interventions that help build resilience The Mental Health Strategy 2017-2027 states “We will deliver a focus on prevention and early intervention for children, [&] young people”.
