At Macquarie University’s Anxiety Research Unit we have developed Cool Teens, a computer-based, self-help program for this audience. The aim of this study was to examine adolescents’ presentation ratings, multimedia preferences, and attitudes to a prototype version of the Cool Teens CD-ROM. Nine adolescents who had previously been treated for an anxiety disorder and 13 non-clinical teens used the prototype and completed a feedback questionnaire. Participants rated all multimedia components positively, but showed a preference for live video in some sections. They reported the CD-ROM was easy to use and visually appealing. The adolescents who had previously been through group treatment all reported they would use a program such as Cool Teens either to prepare or to practice following group sessions. Three of these nine participants reported a preference to use a CDROM instead of attending group therapy. We conclude that interactive computer-based cognitive behavioural therapy may be an acceptable method of delivering treatment to some adolescents.","PeriodicalId":358240,"journal":{"name":"Australian e-Journal for the Advancement of Mental Health","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116032120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Story","doi":"10.5172/jamh.5.3.284","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5172/jamh.5.3.284","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Recent national surveys have indicated that there is a significant level of unidentified and untreated mental health problems in children and young people. This represents a chronic missed opportunity to ameliorate these problems by early identification and intervention. Schools are the obvious setting in which to improve mental health in this population, but there is a service gap between whole-school mental health promotion programs and individual service provision by mental health professionals. The Risk Assessment and Management Process (RAMP) has evolved after extensive piloting with schools as a response to this service gap. It is a systematic set of processes for schools that promotes early identification and intervention for children and adolescents at risk of mental health problems. It uses a three domain risk and protective factor framework, a team-based approach to pastoral care, structured team processes, protocols and solution focused strategies tailored to the school setting, and provides professional development in mental health to school staff. These interconnected components work together to provide an early identification and response process for at-risk students which encompasses within-school support and linkages between the school, the family and community organisations and agencies.","PeriodicalId":358240,"journal":{"name":"Australian e-Journal for the Advancement of Mental Health","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114424478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Remote indigenous mental health service delivery faces challenges of isolation, staff recruitment and retention, and cultural, language and literacy issues. AIMHI NT explored the challenges of mental health service delivery and relapse prevention in Top End remote Aboriginal communities through semistructured interviews with General Practitioners, nurses, and Aboriginal Mental Health Workers. AIMHI NT sought views from a range of different practitioners and health centres, representing each of the three Top End regions - Katherine, East Arnhem and Darwin Rural. Remote service providers reported low levels of confidence in indigenous mental health assessment, and little formal training in mental health. They reported high rates of relapse of mental illness and high rates of comorbidity, but few relapse prevention activities and relapse prevention tools. The development of relapse prevention activities in primary care requires support and change at all levels – community, consumers and carers, service providers, health system, and health policy. AIMHI NT is engaged in a range of activities promoting relapse prevention in remote NT health centres, and has developed a care plan and care plan training package for remote service providers.","PeriodicalId":358240,"journal":{"name":"Australian e-Journal for the Advancement of Mental Health","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114599171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The case discussed here was a part of a larger study undertaken mainly to identify harmful psychological reactions and associated behaviour having long-term psychiatric implications, and to assess the suitability and appropriateness of a 10-day home-based psychosocial intervention programme. The intervention was undertaken three and half months after the incident to ensure that the major treatment of injuries was done. Different play therapy methods were applied to facilitate the ventilation of thoughts and emotions in the child. Post traumatic stress symptoms were measured with a subset of 8 items from the Impact of Events Scale (Horowitz, Wilner & Alvarez, 1979; validated by Dyregrov & Yule, 1995). Results showed remarkable reduction in the exhibition of psychosomatic symptoms, especially stress and anxiety symptoms, in the post intervention assessment. The mean score on the IES scale was also less. Parents, neighbours and relatives corroborated the behavioural change observed by the team. Reduced anxiety, apprehension, and shyness also validated the intervention. The findings highlighted the need for and significance of providing mental health care services and developing need-based psychosocial intervention programmes for children encountering such severe disasters.","PeriodicalId":358240,"journal":{"name":"Australian e-Journal for the Advancement of Mental Health","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121128793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The instrument assesses the clinician’s competency in three areas: clinical interviewing, assessment of specific suicide risk factors, and formulating a management plan. A draft checklist was constructed by integrating information from 1) literature review 2) expert clinician focus group and 3) consultation with experts. It was utilised in a simulated clinical scenario with clinician trainees and a trained actor in order to test for inter-rater agreement. Agreement was calculated and the checklist was re-drafted with the aim of maximising agreement. A second phase of simulated clinical scenarios was then conducted and inter-rater agreement was calculated for the revised checklist. In the first phase of the study, 18 of 35 items had inadequate inter-rater agreement (60%>), while in the second phase, using the revised version, only 3 of 39 items failed to achieve adequate inter-rater agreement. Further evidence of reliability and validity are required. Continued development of the CSRAC will be necessary before it can be utilised to assess the effectiveness of risk assessment training programs.","PeriodicalId":358240,"journal":{"name":"Australian e-Journal for the Advancement of Mental Health","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131645703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
