Review: System transformation to enhance transitional age youth mental health – a scoping review

“…Finally, Cullins et al. (2016) reported on interventions stratified across 3 tiers: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention aimed at collaborative and integrative healthcare models with basic to effective strategies for providing access and quality mental health care to children and families at the community level.…”

“…Shifting care from inpatient services to community not only refers to prioritizing returning hospitalized individuals to the community once someone is receiving mental health care, but also promoting that mental health care remains delivered in the community as much as possible. Many of the studies in this current review revealed that focusing primarily on health services in considering community‐based care does entail an upstream approach, and systems need to concentrate on strengthening communities and dissemination of evidence‐based preventive programs across a range of family, school, and community settings (Pinder‐Amaker & Bell., 2012; Cullins et al., 2016; Power, 2010). In this way, community‐based mental health care and community‐based mental health promotion are both valuable approaches in terms of transforming our current approaches to youth mental health.…”

Examples of off-campus mental health services may include case management, family counseling, group counseling, and self-help (Cullins et al, 2016; Hodges et al, 2021; Humphrey & Wigelsworth, 2016).…”

(M Desviat y A, 2000; Guerrero et al, 2016;Levav, 1992;Roberts et al, 2014;Stuber et al, 2014) Una segunda perspectiva es la que se deriva de diferentes corrientes o bases epistemológicas que muestran su interés por dar atención en salud mental a los pacientes en sus contextos naturales y que priman su modelo, ajustando y flexibilizando su accionar a los entornos comunitarios (Bayes, 1983;Carrazana, 2003;Gracia, 1999;Küstner et al, 2002;Mahaffey et al, 2015), estos van desde psiquiatras, enfermeras, psicólogos, terapeutas ocupacionales, pediatras (Cullins et al, 2016) entre otros, lo que muestra es la valoración amplia y holística del proceso de salud mental en las comunidades.…”
