Fundraising event - 25th May Raising Awareness of Young People and Mental Health Issues

noreply@blogger.com (Mental Health Support) — Wed, 15 May 2013 13:13:00 +0000

Fundraising event

The Landlord and Landlady of the Bonclyff pub in Cwmaman, Joe Passmore and

Pamela Connelly, are organising a fundraising event on Saturday May 25th2013 in

memory of two young people who died tragically last year.

The fundraising event will involve a walk led by Jayne Evans and Karen Ellis, the

mother’s of the young people, Leah Evans and Rhys Ellis, for whom the walk is in honour of.

There will also be music, food, karaoke and many other fun activities from 11am onwards. The Patron of New Horizons, Boyd Clack will be making a guest appearance during the evening.

A great deal of effort has gone into organising this event and it is hoped the public will give this their every support.

Pam Connelly says “There are so many youngsters out there who think there is no one to turn to. Both mothers and the many friends of the young people we are remembering want to show there are people out there who care for them. So let us all give our support to the people who need it. Because the people at the Bonclyff really do care”.

The monies raised on the day will be donated to the local Cynon Valley charity New

Horizons which is based in Aberdare town centre. New Horizons manages a range of resource and outreach centres throughout Rhondda Cynon Taff for people experiencing mental health or emotional wellbeing issues, and projects the positive image of people suffering mental health problems through challenging discrimination by means of education, outreach work, information and support services.

The proceeds raised from this fundraising event in May will enable New Horizons to further develop their new Young Person’s Project on a long term basis (it is currently

being held every Thursday from 4-9pm at their Aberdare Resource Centre at 16 Dean Street).

Gill Malpas, Chair of New Horizons says “We want to thank Pam and Joe for organising this wonderful event. It will help New Horizons support our Young Person’s Project and help us to promote the service to any young people between the ages of 18 and 25 who are experiencing mental health issues.

It is a fantastic example of community engagement with compassion”

New Horizons’ Young Person’s Support Project

noreply@blogger.com (Mental Health Support) — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 10:30:00 +0000

Exciting News from New Horizons.....

New Horizons’ Young Person’s Support Project

The New Horizons mental health charity has received a vital funding boost from the Lloyds TSB Foundation for England and Wales for a young peoples’ project.

The Rhondda Cynon Taff (RCT) based charity, has been awarded a grant of just over £7,000 for a pilot project to support young people living with mental health issues in the area.

New Horizons manages a range of resource and outreach centres throughout Rhondda Cynon Taff for people experiencing mental health or emotional wellbeing issues, and projects the positive image of people suffering mental health problems through challenging discrimination by means of education, outreach work, information and support services.

The grant will enable New Horizons to offer a six month pilot project from January-June 2013 at the Resource Centre in Aberdare to support young people (aged 18-25) who are living with mental health issues in RCT. The pilot project will offer 1:1 support using the Recovery Model, access to information, advice, counselling and training (including a Depression Busting course) and access to the internet cafe.

Gill Malpas, Chair of New Horizons, says: “New Horizons is really pleased to have received the funding from Lloyds TSB to develop this new service for young people which I know is desperately needed in this area”.

Mike Lewis, Grant Manager for Wales at the Lloyds TSB Foundation for England and Wales, said, “New Horizons is a positive and well run charity helping disadvantaged young people across the Rhondda Cynon Taff area. The Foundation’s focus is on supporting charities that are able to help people play fuller roles in their communities and New Horizons does just that.”

Mental Health - Part 1 Mental Health (Wales) Measure 2010

noreply@blogger.com (Mental Health Support) — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:49:00 +0000

Mental Health - Part 1 Mental Health (Wales) Measure 2010

Part 1 Mental Health (Wales) Measure 2010

Gwent Primary Care Mental Health Support Service (PCMHS)

What is Part one of the Measure?

The aim of Primary Care Mental Health Support Services as defined within Part 1 of the Mental Health (Wales) Measure 2010 is to strengthen the role that primary care plays in delivering effective mental health care and treatment, by ensuring that there will be local primary mental health support services. These will be delivered by Local Health Boards and local authorities in partnership. It is expected that these services will operate either within, or alongside, existing GP practices.

Part 1 of the Measure requires that the following elements be delivered as part of local primary mental health support services:

Comprehensive mental health assessments for individuals who have first been seen by a GP. (Individuals may be referred into the primary care service by secondary mental health services);
Treament, by way of short-term psychological interventions, delivered individually or in group settings. Such treatment may include counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focussed therapy, stress management, anger management and education.
Provision of information and advice to individuals and their carers about treatment and care, as well as ‘signposting’ them to other sources of support including third sector organisations.
Support and advice to GPs and other primary care workers to enable them to safely manage and care for people with mental health problems.
Supporting the onward referral and co-ordination of next steps with secondary mental health services, where this is felt to be appropriate for an individual.

These services are ‘age blind’ and so aimed at individuals of all ages who are experiencing mild to moderate, or stable severe and enduring mental health problems.

What services will be provided by PCMHS

Taking into account the expectations and guidance from the Welsh Government, the Gwent PCMHS will offer a range of evidence-based, time limited interventions to treat common mental health problems in all age groups. The interventions available will include a mix of guided self-help, group work and individual therapy. These interventions are likely to include:

counselling,
a range of psychological therapies, including cognitive behavioural therapy and solution focussed therapy,
stress management,
family and parenting work,
behavioural or social interventions
Links to other agencies and organisations
The service will also develop strong links with third sector organisations across Gwent.

Where will the PCMHS services operate?

It is expected that all the PCMHS services will as far as possible work alongside GPs and primary care staff, providing interventions to service users within the practice setting. It is acknowledged however that for a number of small GP practices the lack of available space may be a barrier to this taking place. Where this is identified as an issue, alternative arrangements for providing assessments and interventions will be identified which will be suitable to the GP and service user/s.

Each PCMHS service will develop close links with local Third Sector Organisations such as Gwent Area Voluntary Action (GAVO) or MIND, as well as other agencies that can provide help and support to people, for example Citizens Advice Bureau or Family Centres.

What is an ‘age blind’ service?

The mental Health Measure requires that PCMHS services are delivered to people of all ages – children through to older adults. As a result the PCMHS service will initially be made up of staff from CAMHS, adult and older adult services. Expertise will be shared to enable assessments and age appropriate interventions to be provided. Also links will be maintained with specialist secondary mental health services so that where a person may need a greater level of support or care, the transition to that service can take place without any unnecessary delays.

Who can refer to PCMHS service?

Your General Practitioner is the preferred route for all referrals, although other professionals may be able to refer, such as from a secondary mental health team, In order for PCMHS staff to provide a service your GP must first be informed.

Unfortunately self referrals to PCMHS are not permitted under Part 1 of the Measure

Will PCMHS services be ‘gate keepers’ for secondary mental health services?

No. There is nothing preventing a GP from referring directly to a Secondary Mental Health Team if the doctor believes there is a high level of risk or complexity of illness that may require specialist assessment and possible treatment. However it is expected that as the PCMHS service develops GP’s will discuss any direct referrals to secondary care with a PCMHS staff member ahead of making the referral to identify if there might be other more appropriate interventions available.

How will PCMHS performance be monitored?

Local authorities and LHB's will be accountable for the performance of the local primary mental health support services. In addition to locally agreed performance management information, they will ensure that information is routinely collected for the Welsh Government in relation to:

Number of practitioners per 20, 000 population (all ages).This refers to all clinical staff not just those eligible to carry out assessments under the Measure.
Number of assessments undertaken.
These must be assessments that are the result of a GP or secondary care referral
Waiting time for assessment (in calendar days).The target set by WG is for all assessments to take place within 28 calendar days
Waiting time for interventions, where indicated (in calendar days).
The time between the assessment and first intervention. There is no specific target set by WG but there should be no undue delays
Number of completed interventions
This includes any completed intervention; treatment, referral on, information provided
User, carer and GP satisfaction levels
This information will probably be collected annually

Mental Health Conference

noreply@blogger.com (Mental Health Support) — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 08:49:00 +0000

Internationally-acclaimed mental health expert, Dr Lynne Friedli, will be the guest speaker

The Rhondda Cynon Taf Mental Health Conference takes place on Friday, September 28, at Pontypridd YMCA from 9.30am until 4pm.

To find out more about the Rhondda Cynon Taf Peer Support Group or to book your place at the Conference call Sara Davies on 01443 424350 or email Sara.M.Davies@rctcbc.gov.uk

Rhondda Cynon Taf Council is preparing for Mental Health Week in October with a series of events to support its residents.
Prior to Mental Health Week, Rhondda Cynon Taf Council is hosting a Mental Health Conference on September 28, where the internationally-acclaimed mental health expert, Dr Lynne Friedli, will be the guest speaker.
The Mental Health Conference is called ‘Fight Depression, Stuff Stigma.’ Dr Friedli is the author of the World Health Organisation’s report, entitled ‘Mental Health, Resilience and Inequalities.’
The other keynote speaker will be Dr Chris Jones, a practicing GP for 30 years, who as awarded the CBE in 2007.
To celebrate the success of the development of Peer Support Groups across the County Borough, the conference takes place at Pontypridd YMCA on Friday, September 28.
The event aims to raise awareness of mental health conditions and reduce stigma.
Cllr Mike Forey, Cabinet Member for Partnerships and Adult Social Services, said: “Depression is one of the most common conditions in the UK, directly affecting at least one-in-three families.
“It can affect anyone and any time and at any age. Depression can be life-threatening and must be taken seriously.
“By talking about depression, more people may access help and support needed to begin recovery. Rhondda Cynon Taf Council is here to help these people.”
During the morning sessions, guest speakers will provide an explanation on the Mental Health Measure Wales and Dr Lynne Friedle will speak about the impact of social deprivation on mental health.
Dr Chris Jones was appointed as chairman of the Rhondda Cynon Taf teaching Local Health Board from 2003 and was appointed as chairman of the Cwm Taf Health Board in 2009.
His clinical interests include chronic disease management, health inequalities and the development of community and primary care services. He has also led two Ministerial reviews of health service redesign and is currently leading on ‘Setting the Direction,’ a strategic delivery programme for Primary and Community Services in Wales.
Bernardine Rees, director of primary care and mental health at Cwm Taf Health Board, said: “We are delighted to be working with Rhondda Cynon Taf Council and other partners to help support people with depression and to reduce stigma around mental ill health.
“We are working hard to support people with mental health problems in their own communities and are helping them to live healthy, independent lives.”
Peer Support Group members will also be on hand at the conference to talk about what has assisted them in their recovery.
Rhondda Cynon Taf Council has been working in partnership with Communities First, Cwm Taf Local Health Board, Journeys Towards Recovery and the Welsh Government to establish Peer Support Groups across the County Borough with the aim of enabling people with depression to improve their mental well-being.
Funded by the Communities First Outcomes Fund, the Rhondda Cynon Taf Peer Support Groups are run by people with depression or anxiety for people with depression or anxiety.
Members share their experiences and help each other by listening and offering support to one another at the weekly meetings.
Self-help is a key component in recovery from depression. Engaging in self-help starts by accepting responsibility for your own well-being. Self-help techniques work with traditional medications and complementary therapies.
Self-help is not a ‘quick fix’ - it involves learning about yourself and your condition. Engaging in self-help enables you to better understand and develop coping strategies and tools to help you towards recovery and possibly prevent relapses.

The Rhondda Cynon Taf Mental Health Conference takes place on Friday, September 28, at Pontypridd YMCA from 9.30am until 4pm.
To find out more about the Rhondda Cynon Taf Peer Support Group or to book your place at the Conference call Sara Davies on 01443 424350 or email Sara.M.Davies@rctcbc.gov.uk
Please note, spaces are limited so will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
