Our study protocol was published today which outlines how we set up drop-in mental health services at paediatric hospitals. It's been a exciting project working with wonderful teams across the country. Findings coming soon! journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

@jones1302 Me and Becky were literally talking about this today and already pencilled the date in our diaries!

@etunns sounds interesting. Would be a great opportunity to share practice from the Lucy Project?

💚 Have you heard about The Lucy Project? 💚 It helps young people with mild to moderate psychological difficulties which are related to their physical health condition– such as anxiety, low mood or difficulties accessing health procedures. #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

Excited to get started with The Lucy Project in Sheffield! @anna_roach_

Lucy Project sessions are usually by video or telephone but can be face-to-face where judged clinically necessary. For more information read our website story sheffieldchildrens.nhs.uk/news/research-…

Participation in the Lucy Project is completely separate from any intervention resulting from a patient being referred to CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service) provider. Our Paediatric Psychology team works only with young people within the medical hospital setting.

If you are then referring yourself for drop-in psychological sessions as part of the Lucy Project research study might help. They can provide information, a space to talk, support and treatment, and referral to other services.

Are you under 18 and in the care of a Sheffield Children’s consultant for your physical health but experiencing psychological difficulties such as feeling worried or sad, having problems eating or sleeping, or need someone to talk to?

We linked to two questionnaires in the newsletter. Thanks to members whobhave already responded! A SIG events questionnaire that you can find here: docs.google.com/forms/d/185cbI… Some questions about clinical contact hours here: docs.google.com/forms/d/1THbZC…
