Mental Health and Wellbeing in context

75% of youths in the criminal system have a mental diagnosis


Mental Health and Wellbeing – Pre-school

Pre-school prevalence rates for diagnosable disorders

Estimated numbers of children in Dudley aged 2-5 years with diagnosable difficulties

Any diagnosable mental health condition

20% 2,357

Hyperactivity conditions 4% 472

Any diagnosable severe behavioural difficulty

9% 1,061

Any diagnosable emotional difficulty 13% 1,532


Mental Health and Wellbeing in contextChildren and young people aged 5-16

The figures below summarise how many school aged children and young people you would expect to find presenting with various different levels of need in Dudley.

A smaller number will have common diagnosable mental health conditions and will require swift action to support and restore mental health.

About 8% of children in this age group will have a diagnosable level mental health need.

Mental Health and Wellbeing – 16 to 24

– The last national adult psychiatric morbidity survey (McManus, 2007) revealed that broadly 20% of young adults aged 16-24 years suffered with a diagnosable level mental health difficulty (not including substance misuse reliance and self-harming behaviour or those diagnosed with developmental difficulties such as autism).

– It provided some information on the scale of sub threshold social, emotional and mental health need for some but not all conditions (e.g. this information is available for eating disorders and adult ADHD).



– Understanding how many young people might have rising or sub threshold needs is important as there should still be a focus at this age on supporting those with escalating difficulties.

– Some of these sub threshold problems will resolve themselves naturally but for others such deteriorations in mental health may be a sign that they need help to prevent distressing and damaging crisis.



– Adolescent years are the peak age for the first emergence of serious mental illness with three quarters of psychiatric conditions starting by age 24 (Kessler et al, 2005).

– There is good evidence that intervening early is important, having potentially long term benefits to the young person, to the public purse and to society more broadly (Knapp, 2010; (Patel, et al., 2007). There is also evidence that limiting the length and recurrence of diagnosable level conditions during teenage years reduces the chances of such episodes repeating during adult years (Patton, 2014).

- Based on 2007 data, about 1,462 young people aged 16 to 24 years in Dudley would have made a suicide attempt at some point in their life(McManus et al, 2007). Young men are more likely to complete a suicide attempt.

- Based on 2014 national suicide rate data, there is a very low chance that any young person aged 15 to 18 would commit suicide (2.5 per 100,000); in the 19 to 25 age group around 1 young person would be projected to commit suicide.- Kooth - https://www.kooth.com/ Mind - https://www.mind.org.uk/- Papyrus - https://papyrus-uk.org/

These service developments will be underpinned by the following themes:-

What we are doing in our academies?

– Solution Focussing– 1:1 Mentoring– Emotional wellbeing – Phase Trust (self-harm/teenage relationships/

resilience/solution focusing/1:1 mentoring)– Online Counselling – Kooth– External Counselling –What Centre (includes eating disorder), Young Minds,

CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services)

– School Counsellor, School Nurse– Student Support Managers


Next step for Mental Health and Wellbeing?

- The Trust is securing the implementation of a mental health strategy through strategic planning and staff development

- Mental Health First Aid training.

- Each academy will have at least one trained ‘Youth Mental Health First Aider’ and one trained ‘Adult Mental Health First Aider’.

- The latter reflects the Ofsted Interim foci around teacher workload and wellbeing and the Trust's commitment to support its colleagues.


Next step for Mental Health and Wellbeing?The DAT has commissioned ‘Place2Be’ to: – Undertake a school-based audit relating to mental health and

emotional wellbeing, Identify priority areas for improvement and formulate a plan

– Develop effective communications with statutory CAMHS and making effective referrals

– Consider ways that wider staff teams can be empowered to advocate mental health

– Build confidence, and capacity to understand and respond to the mental health needs


What can you do as Governors?

– What good practice are you aware of in your schools?

– Does mental health and wellbeing of learners and staff form part of discussion at governor level in your setting ?


Mental Health Awareness Week

Mental Health Awareness Week 2019 will take place from Monday 13 to Sunday 19 May 2019.
