威斯敏斯特辩论中强调关于学校咨询的好处
BACP新闻
我们向议员们介绍了我们的运动，以确保为英国每所学校的注册辅导员提供资金，以及在世界心理健康日举行的威斯敏斯特关于心理健康支持的辩论之前，建立青年未来中心的必要性。
在辩论中，来自不同政党的议员承认，对心理健康支持的需求普遍增加，等待时间过长加剧了人们的痛苦。
政府宣言承诺
我们在辩论前见过工党议员Sojan Joseph，他在英国国家医疗服务体系担任心理健康护士长达22年。他利用这场辩论质疑新政府在履行其宣言承诺方面的进展，即资助每所学校的专业心理健康专业人员。
他询问这一承诺是否包括获得咨询，并引用了我们的研究：
“儿童的心理健康问题最初过于复杂，无法进行低强度干预，但不够复杂，无法转介到高强度干预，如儿童和青少年心理健康服务，他们很容易错过所需的心理健康支持。他们可以通过咨询等形式获得帮助。”
“Children whose mental health difficulties are initially too complex for lower intensity interventions but not complex enough to be referred to higher intensity interventions, such as child and adolescent mental health services, can easily miss out on the mental health support they need. They could instead be helped by forms of provision such as counselling.”
他还要求提供政府为儿童和青少年建立青年未来中心的最新计划，这是BACP长期以来一直在宣传的一个问题，他说：
“这些开放接入的救助中心将是为儿童和青少年提供基于社区的心理健康支持的重要一步。他会对这些中心的推出发表意见吗？”
“These open-access drop-in hubs will be an important step in providing community-based mental health support for children and young people. Will he say something about the roll-out of those hubs?”
跨党派支持
他与Epsom和Ewell的自由民主党议员Helen Maguire在谈到早期干预对年轻人的好处时获得了跨党派的支持，她说：
“太多的人只是在受苦，太多的生命正在逝去，但其中一些是可以预防的。早期干预和预防是绝对关键。首先，为了确保我们的年轻人在达到危机点之前得到他们需要的支持，我们需要为他们提供所需的工具，以建立应对现代生活的韧性。我们必须确保没有人在心理健康之旅中感到孤独。”
“Too many people are simply suffering and too many lives are being lost, yet some of that is preventable. Early intervention and prevention are absolutely key. First, to ensure that our young people get the support they need before they reach crisis point, we need to equip them with the tools they need to build resilience to cope with modern life. We must ensure that no one feels alone in their mental health journey.”
盖茨黑德中央和Whickham的工党议员Mark Ferguson提请注意Darzi勋爵上个月发布的关于NHS现状的报告中的建议，他说：
“社区服务无法满足儿童和青少年心理健康需求的激增，达尔齐勋爵的报告发现，经过多年的削减，心理健康护士的数量才刚刚恢复到2010年的水平。
“The surge in demand in respect of mental health needs in children and young people is not being met by community-based services, and Lord Darzi’s report found that after years of cuts the number of mental health nurses has only just returned to 2010 levels.
“这就是为什么我们需要为社区和学校的儿童提供更多支持，但不要继续让教师负担过重。我欢迎政府承诺在社区的每所学校和心理健康中心推出心理健康顾问，以减少积压并确保获得支持。”
“That is why we need more support for children in their communities and schools, but without continuing to overstretch teachers. I welcome the Government’s commitment to roll out mental health counsellors in every school and mental health hubs in the community, to cut through the backlog and ensure accessible support.”
为社区儿童提供更多支持
负责卫生和社会关怀的议会副部长Andrew Gwynne议员代表政府回应说：
“我们致力于改革英国国家医疗服务体系，以确保我们对心理健康和身体健康给予同等的关注和重视。太多的儿童、年轻人和成年人没有得到他们需要的心理健康护理是不可接受的，我们知道等待心理健康服务的时间太长了。
"We are committed to reforming the NHS to ensure that we give mental health the same attention and focus as physical health. It is unacceptable that too many children, young people and adults do not receive the mental health- care that they need, and we know that waits for mental health services are far too long.
“我们决心改变这一点，这就是为什么我们将在儿童和青少年心理健康服务中招募8500名额外的心理健康工作者。我们还将在每所学校引入一名专业心理健康专业人员，并推出青年未来中心。”
"We are determined to change that, which is why we will recruit 8,500 additional mental health workers across child and adolescent mental health services. We will also introduce a specialist mental health professional in every school and roll out Youth Futures hubs."
我们四国领导人史蒂夫·穆利根在辩论前向议员们做了简报，他说：
“在新政府任期的早期，这场辩论提供了一个重要的机会，强调辅导员和心理治疗师可以而且应该发挥核心作用，帮助实现工党的宣言承诺，改善对所有人的心理健康支持。"This debate provided an important opportunity, early in the tenure of this new Government, to highlight that counsellors and psychotherapists can and should play a central role to help deliver Labour's manifesto commitments to improve mental health support for all.
“除了继续与政府接触以帮助制定他们的计划外，我们还期待与Sojan Joseph以及在辩论中热情发言的许多新议员合作，帮助我们支持我们的成员在履行这些重要承诺方面的才能，以加强教育、卫生和社区环境中的心理健康应对措施”。
“As well as continuing to engage with Government to help shape their plans, we look forward to working with Sojan Joseph, and many of the new MPs who passionately spoke in the debate, to help us champion the talents of our members in delivering these important commitments to enhance the mental health response in education, health and community settings".
