With a significant rise in mental health problems among children and young people, more and more children (aged 6-12) with mental health difficulties in the UK are being seen by early intervention or school-based mental health support teams. The children often present with a mix of emotional (internalising) and behavioural (externalising) problems, and services are usually only set up to provide relatively brief interventions. There is therefore an urgent need for relatively brief, transdiagnostic interventions that can be effectively delivered by a wide range of practitioners, many of whom have limited training.
The Emotion Regulation in Children (ERiC) Study was set up to evaluate a brief, flexible model of MBT, adapted for children with emotional and behaviour problems (and their families). In this workshop, we will briefly describe the study and its background, give an overview of the adapted MBT model itself, and share some of what we’ve learned from trying to train practitioners in this brief MBT model and implement it in public mental health services.
