Explanation:
The continuation of the YIACS service, that sits under the Door 43 brand, is clinically supported through Sheffield’s Local Transformation Plan for Children and Young People’s Mental Health. The Authority wants to continue to commission an integrated holistic approach to mental health services which Door 43 provides.
The service is full of complex interdependencies and new emerging changes in the service landscape and in patterns of demand post pandemic which need to be considered as part of any future service model. Time is required to unpick these complexities. Work to review the service could not commence until other aspects of early intervention for Children’s mental health were embedded during winter 2022 and as other services that have been under review all influence the future service model for YIACS.
There are several different external agencies (schools, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), GP practices within Primary Care Networks, local authority and charities) that use this service on a daily basis; it is a trusted service which is clearly established throughout Sheffield as the Organisation who provide mental health support.
In 2022/23 the Sheffield place/Local authority CYP joint commissioner began to undertake work with system colleagues to look at what a YIACS Sheffield service would need to look like to be fit for the future, based on changing and increased demands and presentations of CYP, and noting the significant number of interdependencies delivered through the current provider, Door 43. A 12-month extension would give the opportunity to consider further the emerging shape of what future system provision should comprise of to support young people’s emotional wellbeing and mental health needs in the context of a changing service landscape and changing patterns of demand and service delivery over the last 12 months.
Service development in YIACS is dependent on embedding other aspects of the early intervention and prevention structure in Sheffield, such as emerging Mental Health Support Teams in schools and changes to the way that SCFT CAMHS operates, which have impacted on the evolution of the need for a Sheffield YIACS service as part of the local integrated offer and in the context of a pilot safe space and new 7 day a week age16 plus drop in and telephone Support Haven.
Door 43 includes multiple Wellbeing Cafés to support young people in managing emotional and mental health needs; and support young people with their wider health needs by providing opportunity for sexual health testing and counselling on a range of emotional wellbeing and mental health issues. This service is delivered in a bespoke facility that has been developed using significant national and local capital funds. There is no capital funding available for an alternate provider and a space which meets the standard at Door 43 would need to be located within the City Centre, fully operational from 1st April 2023. Key requirements of the space include laptops, computers, kitchen for young people to use, clinic rooms for sexual health testing, seating area and various other elements.
Young people have fed back that they want a local (Sheffield) service which fully aligns to the current provisions, creating a seamless pathway of care and holistic services. Therefore, continued delivery of YIACS through Door 43, will avoid fragmentation of Sheffield’s prevention and early intervention offer for emotional wellbeing and mental health and stability of provision until wider system learning from local changes and pilots can feed into a new model for future delivery.
