Making the move: Understanding the transition of young people with social care needs from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) to adult

CAMHS发现自己处于一个前所未有的需求时期(威尔士政府，2015)，这一需求可能会过渡到成年。从CAMHS过渡到成人精神卫生服务(AMHS)被普遍认为是一个复杂的过程，许多年轻人往往无法在成年后获得支助(Paul等人，2013年；McGorry等人)。2013)。目前的大多数文献只关注向AMHS的过渡，而没有研究替代途径，或者那些没有过渡到AMHS的人会发生什么(Lamb和Murphy，2013；Singh，等人)。2009年)。使用混合方法，这个学生将努力提供对复杂领域的更多洞察力。

CAMHS find themselves in a period of unprecedented demand (Welsh Government, 2015), a demand that will likely be transitioned to adulthood. Transitioning from CAMHS to Adult Mental Health Services (AMHS) is generally acknowledged to be a complex process with many young people often failing to qualify for support as adults (Paul, et al, 2013; McGorry, et al. 2013). Most of the current literature has focused on transitions solely to AMHS and has not looked at alternative pathways, or what happens to those who do not transition to AMHS (Lamb and Murphy, 2013; Singh, et al. 2009). Using a mixed methods approach this studentship will endeavour to provide greater insight into the complex area.
