Mia (not her real name) was 3 years old when she arrived at the A.B. and Jessie Polinsky Children’s Center (PCC) after being removed from her biological parents due to neglect and domestic violence she witnessed between her parents. She was born prematurely and had unaddressed medical, developmental, and behavioral health challenges. At PCC, she was a candidate for KidSTART services and started Speech & Motion Therapy to help understand what challenges were related to the trauma or development, and in some cases, both. As a result, she is making consistent gains and is starting to warm up, share her funny personality, and have even made new friends. Prior to KidSTART, Mia was reserved and lacked services that would help her grow happy and healthy. It’s easy to refer your friends, neighbors, associates, or family members considering making a move.

A very useful guide on the trauma-informed approach and how to apply it. More and more local authorities in the UK are adopting this approach to better understand those who have experienced traumatic life events. Being trauma-informed means understanding that those in most need of services may also be the hardest to reach and least likely to engage effectively with services. https://lnkd.in/efUQpSc2..

Investigating His Own Death: Will’s Story, is available now on BBC iPlayer - see here https://lnkd.in/edEvYBpP It’s a documentary about a young man called Will Melbourne who died aged 19, in supported housing. The inquest finally concluded last month, three years after Will’s death. I represented his parents, instructed by the fantastic Gemma Vine of Ison Harrison. The coroner recorded death by misadventure and that Will’s death was found to have been caused by metonitazene toxicity. It was a really tragic case and the documentary is a tough watch. I always advise families in inquests that as well as trying to find out what caused the death, we are also looking for ways to prevent future deaths occurring, in any way we can. I think that should apply to all of us involved in these cases, and that includes us lawyers. A few things stood out in this case for me that I am going to have in mind in my other cases – particularly Court of Protection cases involving young people in care homes, hospitals or supported living: (1) Young people like Will who have just moved out of the family home are particularly vulnerable to harm from a range of sources. Particularly when that ‘move out’ is happening because their behaviour is such that their parents cannot tolerate it at home any more. (2) Will’s autism, his mental health problems and his illicit drug use combined to render him a really complex case for social workers and clinical staff to deal with. That complexity was added to by the fact that he retained decision making capacity in relation to his accommodation, care and treatment, and he was not detainable under the MHA 1983. Young people with this constellation of risk factors require a really clear and co-ordinated approach to be taken in the provision of support. (3) Will’s parents understandably felt he ought to have had more active ‘support’ in his supported housing than he ended up with. The coroner did not feel able to conclude that any shortcomings in his care had caused his death. However there probably were other things that could have been tried to tackle Will’s self-neglect and drug use – things that were perhaps more in the nature of a ‘stick’ than a ‘carrot’. I know it is sometimes hard for carers and professionals to contemplate this approach as it risks alienating a young person rather than collaboratively working with them. But sometimes it might be the right thing to do, especially when all the carrots in the world are not working. (4) Finally…you never know what you’re going to get when you buy stuff from the internet, and that’s particularly true with dark web drugs. Will thought he was buying oxycodone, which he felt would help his depression. What he actually bought was metonitazene, a synthetic opioid many, many times stronger. Two tablets killed him. (The initial toxicology tests done for his post mortem didn’t pick this up as being in his bloodstream because - certainly in 2020 – the labs just weren’t looking for it.)
