Things about CAMHS
The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust (The Tavistock) and the Anna Freud Centre (AFC) formed a consortium to further develop and refine a new model for CAMHS based on their shared thinking in this area: this is now known as the THRIVE model.
They say:
"We are sharing our thinking as it develops to help inform the current national debate on the future of CAMHS and as a basis for future provision. We are not presenting THRIVE as a tried and tested one-size-fits-all implementation model, nor is the language and terminology for different groups fixed at this point. Whilst AFC and Tavistock do have thoughts on implementation in particular contexts, this paper does not purport to be a how-to guide.
We feel that the THRIVE model offers a radical shift in the way that services are conceptualised and potentially delivered, along with suggestions for how they might be reviewed and improved. Through wider discussion,planning and, in time, the commissioning processes, the model will appropriately undergo refinements anddevelopments as to how it can be applied to local contexts. "

A search for CAMHS on our library catalogue will give you a link to this resource.

Things to make

Although it is a few days late (hope all your decorations are down!) but a special food made in France the 

‘La Galette des Rois’ is made for the Epiphany, traditionally observed on January 6th, a biblical date to celebrate the arrival of Magi (also known as the three Kings or the three Wise Men) visiting Jesus in his manger. Find a recipe here. The custom is to hide a little charm or fève within, and the lucky guest who finds it is crowned King or Queen. So when you buy a Galette des Rois in the bakery, a paper crown will be included.
