In this episode of Small Talk Big Change, we explore the complex and often misunderstood topic of neurodiversity and the challenges faced by families navigating long waiting times for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, or CAMHS. The episode will explore an innovative task-sharing approach being pioneered in Dundee, Scotland, called Together to Thrive with insight from Dr. Johnny Graham, a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist in NHS Tayside, Jacqui Paton and Keren Hadden from NHS CAMHS in Dundee, children’s mental health expert Laura Earnshaw and Louise, one of the parents who has received support through Together To Thrive. You’ll hear how this groundbreaking project aims to redirect specialist mental health support to community-based organisations, providing much-needed help to families who would otherwise be left waiting and struggling.
