Gday Tony,
I'd be really interested in seeing a copy of the program you refer to as
the"Meriden Program". We became part of the adult mental health system some
time ago and the interfaces between services for child, adult and family
mental health have been a subjected to some scrutiny recently by our
"masters" yet little seems to have emerged in terms of change for the
better.

Dear Tony,
I've just taken up a new post as Team Leader of an Early Interventions (in
psychosis) team for South Worcestershire in the UK. I use psychoeducational
behavioural family interventions and hope to be able to deploy these to good
effect in my new role. I've just completed a project for the Meriden
Programme (a regional family interventions training programme) looking at
the interfaces between services for child, adult and family mental health.
My report on this 'Interfaces Project' should be available shortly.
Best regards,
Tony Gillam,
Team Leader, Early Interventions Service,
Worcester,
UK
