The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP) are delighted to announce the JCPP 2023 Special Issue on ‘Innovation in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Interventions’, edited by Paul Ramchandani, Tim Dalgleish, Joan Luby, Bradley Peterson, and Edmund Sonuga-Barke.
With children and adolescents showing higher levels of mental health problems in many countries, and many Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) struggling to deliver services to all those who need support, it is becoming increasingly important to develop new and more effective interventions and approaches to care.
In their fantastic Special Issue Editorial, Paul Ramchandani et al. highlight the importance of the Special Issue in bringing together ‘papers that include approaches seated alongside CAMHS in public mental health, innovative single session interventions, models from low-and-middle income countries and the use of new advances in research methodologies’ and emphasize the need to ‘innovate and learn from different fields, different models, and different countries, and [to] continue to improve our research methods and clinical approaches using this knowledge’.
With this in mind, this JCPP Special Issue aims to:
- Explore the ways in which CAMH services are struggling to deliver services to those in need.
- Examine the solutions to the challenges CAMH services face.
- Engage different fields, models, and countries to improve clinical approaches.
We hope that you can access our Open Access papers and accompanying resources, and do please share with colleagues to better understand various innovations in child and adolescent mental health interventions.
