In this Papers Podcast, Alice Phillips discusses her JCPP Advances paper ‘Secondary data analysis of social care records to examine the provision of mental health support for young people in care’ (https://doi.org/10.1002/jcv2.12161). Alice is the first author of the paper.



There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.



Discussion points include






  • The relationship between being in care and the likelihood of experiencing mental health difficulties.

  • Gender difference in terms of accessing services.

  • The barriers and challenges making it more difficult for youth in care to get mental health support.

  • Implications for CAMH professionals and recommendations to make CAMHS more accommodating for young people in care.

  • The message that policymakers should take from this research.


Also have a read of this blog from Alice – Mental health and care-experienced young people: are our mental health support services appealing and accessible?



In this series, we speak to authors of papers published in one of ACAMH’s three journals. These are The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP); The Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) journal; and JCPP Advances.
