Choice and Partnership Approach

The Choice and Partnership Approach (CAPA) is a novel framework for engaging and working with young people and their families in Mental Health Services. It is based around engaging the family and patient in making choices about their treatment and uses eleven principles and seven 'Helpful Habits'.

Background[edit]

The CAPA Approach is an on-going work, developed originally by Dr Ann York and Dr Steve Kinsbury, both Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists. [1] They state that they were inspired by doing Demand and Capacity training in the 2003 to 2004 period and decided to see if they could apply this approach to their clinical work. This first led to the development of the Seven Helpful Habits, which were also integral in the NHS Publication, 10 High Impact Changes for Service Improvement and Delivery [2]

the Overall approach is guided by what are called the four 'Big Ideas'; Choice, Core and Specific Work, Selecting a Clinician and Job Planning.

The Four Big Ideas[edit]

Choice[edit]

Choice is at the heart of the CAPA approach, witht he family constantly being offerred choices, starting with whether they are referred or not, to which clinician the choose to see.


Core and Specific Work[edit]

Any Clinicain that is involved in treatment should be capable of performing the core relationshipa nd therapeutic work required. If specialist work is required (e.g. psychometric testing or medication management), then the patient can see that person in addition to the normal core worker.

Selecting a Clinician[edit]

Job Planning[edit]

In order for teams to be able to work together and make timely appointments both for choice interviews and work interviews, as well as team support and education, then there must be periods of the day blocked out for these appointments.
