TOMORROW'S WORLD: MAPPING THE CONSTRUCT AND IMPACT OF RESILIENCE IN ADOLESCENTS WITH SOCIAL EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS

仅在英国，精神健康疾病的患病率就相当于85万名患有可诊断精神健康疾病的年轻人（ONS, 2018）。如果不加以解决，这可能会导致在以后的生活中出现“适应不良的应对策略”（Thompson等人，2010:461），从而成为成年期“严重和慢性精神健康疾病”的根源。在教育政策和实践中，围绕着从个性化干预模式到无处不在的普遍性的转变，缺乏批判性的参与值得关注，因为情绪健康和干预被视为一种“情绪接种的形式”（Vostanais等人，2013:3）：一套可以教授、学习和转移给学生的技能、态度和行为，准备在各种情况下使用。关键的是，有些青少年在没有干预的情况下应对心理健康疾病，他们对知识库的贡献很大程度上仍然缺失（Hodes和Shur Fen-Gau， 2016）。了解是什么解释了他们的韧性，关键是要解决青年在旨在“转变”青少年心理卫生服务的政策和实践中严重缺乏参与的问题，这对于扩展和形成新知识至关重要。因此，该项目将解决在知识库中发现的差距，并将确保政策、教育和卫生改革由这些年轻人以共同生产、适龄和尊重的方式形成，将他们置于问题的核心，从而促进社会最弱势群体的“有意义的变革”（DfE, 2017:14）。研究目的探讨中学如何使用和选择干预措施来应对不断变化的青少年心理健康政策，研究维持有SEMH需求的青少年心理弹性的机制，了解存在哪些理论和经验证据基础来证明使用心理弹性干预的合理性，了解(a)开发者使用有效干预模式的标准；(b)教师(c)青少年参与者我将与青年人合作，推行改革议程，以影响卫生和教育政策和做法。定量和定性方法将用于探索、分析和评估从以下学校获得的具有代表性和分层的样本（研究者已经与他们协商进入）：All Hallows, Ribblesdale， Beechen Cliff和Monkton Combe，对学校内发生的典型干预进行调查。年轻的研究人员将积极参与并参与研讨会、小组项目和自我完成的健康和情感措施，以参与、探索和扩展围绕弹性的知识基础，并确保由年轻人设计和领导新的政策和实践。焦点小组的定性和定量方法、访谈以及对已完成的福祉措施收集的统计数据的询问相结合，将为青年提供有关以下方面的新信息：(a)改善对所有人的服务；(b)围绕这一热门话题延伸当前的思考。此外，在青年会议日的合作将为参与者提供创造影响、挑战负面看法和与研究人员合作以获得关键技能（例如公开演讲）的机会。

BackgroundThe prevalence of mental health illness in the UK alone equates to 850,000 young people experiencing a diagnosable mental health illness (ONS, 2018). Left unresolved, this could lead to 'maladaptive coping strategies' (Thompson et al, 2010:461) in later life, thus becoming the root of 'serious and chronic mental health illness' in adulthood. The paucity of critical engagement within education policy and practice surrounding a switch from personalised models of intervention to ubiquitous universality warrants attention since emotional wellbeing and intervention are presented as a 'form of emotional inoculation' (Vostanais et al, 2013:3): a set of skills, attitudes and behaviours that can be taught, learned and transferred to pupils, ready for use in all manner of situations. Critically, there are some adolescents who navigate mental health illness without intervention, whose contribution to the knowledge base remains largely absent (Hodes and Shur Fen-Gau, 2016). Understanding what explains their resilience, and, crucially addressing the significant lack of youth engagement in policy and practices aimed at 'transforming' adolescent mental health services is vital to extending and forging new knowledge. This project, therefore, will address the gaps identified in the knowledge base, and it will ensure that policy, education and health reforms are shaped by those young people in co-productive, age appropriate and respectful ways to place them at the heart of the issues, in turn promoting 'meaningful changes' (DfE, 2017:14) for society's most vulnerable. Research AimsTo explore how secondary schools use and choose interventions to respond to the changing landscape of adolescent mental health policyTo examine the mechanisms maintaining resilience in adolescents experiencing SEMH needsUnderstand what theoretical and empirical evidence base exists to justify the use of resilience interventionsTo understand the criteria for effective intervention models used by (a) developers; (b) teachers (c) adolescent participantsI will collaborate with young people to pursue an agenda of transformation in order to influence health and education policy and practice. Quantitative and qualitative methods will be used to explore, analyse and evaluate a representative and stratified sample obtained from the following schools (with whom the researcher has already negotiated access): All Hallows, Ribblesdale, Beechen Cliff and Monkton Combe of the typical interventions taking place within school. The young researchers will be actively involved and engaged in workshops, group projects and self-completion of wellbeing and emotional measures to participate, explore and extend the knowledge base surrounding resilience and to ensure that new policy and practice is designed and led by young people. The combination of qualitative and quantitative methods of focus groups, interviews, and the interrogation of statistical data gathered across completed well-being measures will provide new youth information on resilience to (a) improve service for all; (b) extend current thinking around this hot topic. Furthermore, collaboration at a youth conference day will provide an opportunity for the participants to create an impact, challenge negative perceptions and collaborate with researchers to gain key skills, such as public speaking.
