Costing our futures

New data released by Young Women's Trust shows the stark reality of the cost of living crisis. Young women earn £4,000 on average less a year than young men of the same age. They are more likely to be struggling in the cost-of-living crisis: in debt, struggling to afford the essentials and choosing between heating and eating.

At the Islington Centre for Refugees and Migrants, we welcome people, talk with them, listen to what they need and respond to that.

We work with asylum seekers, refugees and migrants from all over the world offering English classes, practical support and community. We welcome people regardless of where they come from, their immigration status, their age, their religion, their background or any other factor.

CAMHS stands for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.

CAMHS is the name for the NHS services that assess and treat young people with emotional, behavioural or mental health difficulties.

CAMHS support covers depression, problems with food and eating, self-harm, abuse, violence or anger, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and anxiety, among other difficulties.

There are local NHS CAMHS services around the UK, with teams made up of nurses, therapists, psychologists, child and adolescent psychiatrists (medical doctors specialising in mental health), support workers and social workers, as well as other professionals.

The first step to getting help from CAMHS is usually that you will be referred for a CAMHS assessment. This referral can come from your parents/carers, a teacher, GP, or yourself if you are old enough (depending on where you live).

If you're being supported by social care, a youth offending team, or a service at your school, they might also be able to refer you.

It's important to tell the person referring you as much as you can so you can get the help you need.

Most local CAMHS teams have a website where you can look up how to get access to their service.

After you have been referred, you will be put on a waiting list for an initial appointment (often known as an 'assessment'). This may sound scary, but it's normally just a chat so the CAMHS team can get to know you a bit and see how they can help.

At this appointment, you will normally meet one or two members of the CAMHS team. If you're under 16 years old, your parent(s) or carer(s) will usually be invited to join for part of this meeting.

This appointment will generally take place at a CAMHS clinic. But, in some circumstances, they may meet with you at your school or home. They will discuss with you the best place to meet before your appointment.

When you meet, the team will ask you questions to understand what you are struggling with and to get a better idea of what support you need.

Here are some common questions the CAMHS team may ask in an assessment:

What has brought you to CAMHS?

How long have you experienced the problem that has brought you to CAMHS?

What would you like to change in your life?

What might help tackle the problems you are experiencing?

How have you been feeling recently?

Try to be as open and honest as possible at your first appointment. These people are not mind readers and if you lie, you will not receive the best treatment plan for you to get better.

Hannah

At the end of the session, the team will talk to you about what happens next and what support they think you might need. You can also ask any questions you may have.

They may talk about your 'treatment' - this just means what you'll do together to help you get better.

If you would feel more comfortable having a parent or carer in the room with you during your assessment, that's fine. You can also see the team by yourself if you would prefer, though staff may expect a parent to be present for part of the meeting.

Also, if you or your parent/carer is not confident speaking English, CAMHS can provide an interpreter to help. Just let them know if this is the case.

It's important at your CAMHS assessment to try and be as honest as possible, as this will help the team assessing you understand how to support you.

Here are some things that are helpful for you to tell them:

when your problems started

what you'd like to change

if there's a pattern in the problems (keeping a diary or log book before your assessment can be really helpful to show this)

any difficulties in school or with friends

any general health problems, either now or in the past

any big family events or issues like divorce or bereavement

any recent or past trauma, e.g. emotional, sexual or physical abuse

other services you've had help from, like social care, hospital or private treatments

Going to CAMHS is a massive step and you should be so proud of yourself in acknowledging you need support.

Have a look at our medication pages for more information.

I was convinced that moving to adult services was the end of the world. BUT here I am, two years down the line, and I can tell you that I survived and that it was okay.

Whether you love the page or think something is missing, we appreciate your feedback. It all helps us to support more young people with their mental health.

Please be aware that this form isn't a mental health support service. If you are in crisis right now and want to talk to someone urgently, find out who to contact on our urgent help page.

At YoungMinds we take your privacy seriously. If you'd like to read more about how we keep the information we collect safe, take a look at our privacy policy.

My daughter had become a different person - one we didn't recognise - but since counselling we see signs of our old loving daughter coming back.

If you have problems or worries you get a chance to talk to a person you trust. When I grow up I want to help children like Place2Be helps children.

PUBLIC HEALTH, HUMAN RIGHTS AND SOCIAL JUSTICE THROUGH DRUG POLICY REFORM

For over 50 years, the war on drugs has caused injustice, suffering and tragedy to communities across the world. It's time to bring it to an end.

We are dedicated to making safer drug policies a reality. This means ending prohibition and replacing it with a system of legal regulation for all drugs.

The 1971 Misuse of Drugs Act is 50 years old. For half a century, it has damaged people and communities, undermined science and entrenched social injustice. It is not fit for purpose. For every year it remains in place, billions of pounds will be wasted, thousands of lives lost, and countless people needlessly criminalised. This has to stop.

We will be working with partners throughout 2021 to build support for change.

#50YearsOfFailure

Anyone's Child: Families for Safer Drug Control is an international network of families whose lives have been wrecked by current drug laws and are now campaigning to change them.

No one doubts that drugs can be dangerous but criminalising those who get involved causes even more harm. The families in Anyone's Child have come together to campaign for the legal control and regulation of the drug market to save lives and better protect our young people.

We are living in extraordinary and bewildering times. The inter-related crises of climate emergency, the 6th extinction crisis, the increasing loss of habitats, economic crises and the staggering polarisation of wealth, the gradual realisation of the harm caused to marginalised peoples the world over, to mention but a few. We are being called to wake up, dramatically, to our physical as well as our psychological interconnectedness with other-than-human species and with the more-than-human world, as well as paying attention and changing how we related to fellow humans who are systematically oppressed.

In this awakening we may ask how we have come to a place where we are destroying the very home which supports and nourishes us. And in the same breath, how do we make the transition from this apocalyptic scenario to a place of living in relationship with the rest of life? The purpose of the website is to provide information about ecopsychology in the UK and beyond, including: , , , details of the current and previous 'Edge of the Wild' annual ecopsychology gatherings, practitioners; all with the aim of supporting one another to engage with this crisis.

If you are looking to connect with like-minded people, both virtually, and possibly, locally, then please sign onto our sister website the UK ecopsychology ning. On this ning website you can blog, post discussions, list your own events and find out more about other practitioners. Please participate - we cannot do this alone! On this site you can connect through finding out more about the annual ' Edge of the Wild' ecopsychology gathering which happens every July at the tented venue in Worcestershire, England.

We hope this is all both useful and inspiring, to you and ultimately also to the web of life throughout this still awesome planet. If you have questions or comments please directly and we will do our best to come up with a helpful response.

Unlock the talent inside

Since 1962 the Koestler Awards have played a unique, national role in motivating prisoners, secure hospital patients and immigration detainees to take part in the arts. The Koestler Awards are simple and powerful - we reward achievement, build self-confidence and broaden horizons for some of society's most disadvantaged and marginalised people.

Our work harnesses the uniquely transformative power of the arts to help individuals learn the skills and gain the confidence to live creative, positive and productive lives. Each year we receive more than 7,000 entries from over 3,500 entrants across the UK in 52 categories. More than 2,000 Awards are granted by over 100 esteemed judges, and each year culminates in a curated exhibition at Southbank Centre which showcases the incredible power of the arts to transform lives.

2020 outdoor installation

Outdoors at London's Southbank Centre and online

This autumn, we are working to produce a powerful installation across the outdoor spaces of Southbank Centre.

Creativity has been prisoners' escape and saviour during the pandemic. Using limited materials and unlimited imaginations, people across our criminal justice system have kept themselves going.

Being creative has helped me survive my prison sentence, I go to a different place when I'm thinking of ideas and then making them out of whatever I can find. Koestler Awards entrant, 2020

No Lockdown in the Imagination will showcase some of this important artwork, which was entered into this year's Koestler Awards, despite all the challenges faced by the criminal justice system. Visual art and poetry will be reproduced onto the windows of Southbank Centre, alongside audio performances of poetry and spoken word entries.

Our installation title quotes Lemn Sissay MBE, whose on 3 rd May 2020 read: "The reason prisoners can create extraordinary art and poetry is because there is no lockdown in the imagination."

Creativity has allowed me to absorb my life into another world. A fantasy world where I can forget everything around me.

The idea of Winnicott Wednesdays formed in 2010, when a group of artists training to become art psychotherapists at Goldsmiths University began to meet most weeks (usually on a Wednesday) to debrief on their personal and collective experiences of the course; to try to make sense of psychoanalysis and art; and to attempt to reconcile the ongoing, often conflicting nature of the dual roles of artist and art therapist. As they negotiated their baffling emotional reactions and responses to the subject matter of the training they began to form friendships...these regular meetings became known as 'Winnicott Wednesdays'. The group is an artist collective of like minded individuals working together to create art and continue our discourse.
This group of artists embody something particular and distinctive about this realm of practice. I am impressed by these imaginative responses; developing beyond their initial training. Their collaboration opens up a dynamic and reflexive view progressing explorations into the essence and potential of art psychotherapy as a way to communicate, understand and transform experience in both intimate and political dimensions. This work reflects how art psychotherapy is numinous as well as tangible. It opens up thinking, expression and experience. I am heartened by the work of the 'Winnicott Wednesdays' collaboration. It creates a place that connects and supports people. It is a testament to being responsive to the 'vulnerable' self as well as to others. And to thinking critically about experience and the significance of context.
