That way we truly are spreading the word about mental health”. My only possible areas for improvements are to maybe have a note on the side explaining ways which other people could get involved in things like this and also explain what other events people have the opportunity get involved in if they would like. The title is clear and snappy, as is the format, and the colours, pictures and illustration on the website really bring the day, and the piece to life. “ I love what you have done with the article- and because of the way you have presented the article, I feel truly proud of the work that I have done. One young service user, part of the East Cheshire CAMHS Crewe said of a post about the CAMHS Crewe We are constantly seeking feedback from young service users: We continue to engage children, young people and families in the development of resources. A CAMHS service in Australia asked permission for the mymind videos about ‘MAX’ to be shown in the waiting areas of their CAMHS service to reassure children and young people attending. We have our own youtube channel and ‘I store’ where videos can be viewed and podcasts downloaded. Clinicians signpost children & young people to the interactive sections of the website. Appointment cards for CAMHS have the mymind contact details on emails from CWP CAMHS workers have the mymind motif and hyperlink to the website. Posters highlighting the mymind website have been distributed to schools, local health clinics and GP surgeries. Ongoing training and support for authors and supervisors is now delivered by the chief operating officer of mymind (a CAMHS clinician). Initially, training for the website authors and supervisors was delivered by the website developers. Since the project began in 2011 further ‘add on’ projects have been completed and are included in the website. Podcasts and downloadable resources were also developed that children & young people could be signposted to in ‘the box’ and ‘the box +’. Clinicians and administration staff were recruited to train as ‘authors’ of posts that are published in the ‘news’ section of the website. Operational procedures were developed for both the website and twitter feed there are clear lines of governance to ensure trust guidelines are followed. Staff focus groups worked on the wording of the website to ensure that it promoted inclusivity. Creative workshops were facilitated by lead clinicians for tier 3 and tier 4 services alongside a creative agency to identify what information should be included on the website and how this should be disseminated. Resourcesįrom the onset we wanted to include children, young people, parents, carers and staff in the website development. The website was launched on World Mental Health day 2011. The resulting artworks provided unique insights, rich in meaning, that have shaped the website’s structure, content, voice and design.

The change introduced and how this was doneĬWP CAMHS with the help of a creative agency brought young people together in focus groups to share ideas, which took the form of graffiti walls, full of metaphors and symbolism.
Engagement took place at tiers 2, 3, and 4, which meant that the views young people accessing all aspects of CWP CAMHS were included in the development of this provision.
The workshops focused upon developing service users deeper understanding of their own experiences of CAMHS, as well as their aspirations for its’ future. BackgroundĬhildren and young people from across the CWP area came together to share and anchor their thoughts and feelings about how best to create an all-new online presence. There are also sections aimed at parents and carers and professionals. The initiative is to provide children and young people who may be experiencing emotional / psychological / mental health difficulties either due to something happening from within or as a result of what is going on around them – with appropriate information about the difficulties they may be experiencing, what CAMHS is all about and self-help pages in the form of downloadable PDF’s and podcasts. We enlisted the help of a Graphic Facilitation company called Deadcatdreaming and they assisted us with a great piece of consultation work with some of our service users to bring the Mymind site to life.You can read more about the consultation work in our Headstrong report. The process really began with a project team which was led by one of our service co-ordinators (team leaders). Mymind is a website and twitter feed developed by Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, to provide children and young people with information about mental health problems.
