Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 It brings us back to the importance of infant mental health doesn't it and the importance of early intervention. I've just done a quick blog about it (www.agenesis.co.uk/blog) if anyone wants to have a look! Last week i was doing a workshop with mental health servise users and carers who are members of the service users panel. there was one lady there who had border line personality disorder. i watched her .. her eyes were everywhere just watching. She's lived with abuse all her life and still does. I realised I was watching those constantly high levels of adrenaline in action. That lady is a living example of why early intervention is so important, I don't know what her early history was .. you can only guess, Ann RE: 'Every night you cry' According to the Youth Taskforce, 60% of boys whose dads have been imprisoned, end up in prison later...

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009  Hi I heard the report about maternal deaths as well and thought it was so shocking and today there was the report about helping 7/8 year olds to think about what they wanted to do in the future. I have a very uncomfortable feeling about it all as the intuitive ones of you may have picked up from my previous responses tonight. I have spent the day with two different groups of safeguarding professionals giving them support, supervision and coaching and there is something going on in my head that is not clear and I need to work out. Last week I spent all week working with named and designated professionals - nurses. doctors, midwives etc working in safeguarding and I think there is a connection which I will reflect on and then feedback when I get a better picture. Margaret RE: 'Every night you cry' Thank you for raising the awareness to this report. A very poignant report that clearly identifies a large proportion of need in a vulnerable and often hidden population.It also demonstrates the need to ensure good collaboration across agencies/practitioners to address this and to work towards decreasing the perceived stigma for children and young people faced with this situation. In addition to having practitioners develop special interest in vulnerable groups and doing proactive work with them.It really brought it home their feelings with the feedback from the children and partners The other staggering statistic was the number of boys who will go on to offend if their father has been in prison. Given the recent reports about working in primary schools to (as reported in the media) to give career advice to primary aged children, it begs questions about how the resources are used and what needs take priority in addressing. Whilst it is important to encourage children to speak and raise aspirations about there futures it needs to be sensitive given the context of their lives and the issues that families and children face. Having heard a report this week on the radio about the state of maternal health (and therefore childrens wellbeing) in Malawi where there are around 16 maternal deaths a day it puts into perspective the advances that have been made in parts of the world but equally there are different kinds of needs and depths of social need to address here. Globally.... with the range of social, environmental,fiscal,and emotional need that exists with multi factorial impacts it can be quite overwhelming for practitioners and organisations/systems. So consequently I dont see fragmenting as helping.There needs to be cohesive approaches. I am not for fragmenting regards From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of CowleySent: 27 October 2009 15:52 ; pafsinterestgroup Subject: 'Every night you cry' [1 Attachment] Telling report from Barnardo's about children of imprisoned parents; staggering numbers of very unhappy children and young people.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 When I was seven my Mum didn't even talk about the eleven plus, let alone what I'd do when I left school (tho' perhaps the subtle indoctrination from her tales of 1940's nursing were working.....). My first reaction on this career counselling stuff was why can't we just let children stay as children for a while. < > From: " Margaret Buttigieg " <margaret@...> Date sent: Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:37:51 -0000 Send reply to: Subject: Re: 'Every night you cry' [ Double-click this line for list subscription options ] Hi I heard the report about maternal deaths as well and thought it was so shocking and today there was the report about helping 7/8 year olds to think about what they wanted to do in the future.
