Tasmania : The Problem
High level of need but limited economic base to fund services
• High rate of social disadvantage (NATSEM, ANU, 2013; Kids Come First Update, 2013)
• Social gradient in health and mental health (Stanley, Richardson, Prior 2005)
• Geographically dispersed population• Limited resource base (West, Griffith Review, 2013)

Social Determinants of Physical and Mental Health
• Socioeconomic gradients are increasing with increasing gaps between advantaged and disadvantaged groups in society. (Stanley et al, 2007)
• Health outcomes follow socioeconomic status: obesity, diabetes, asthma; developmental disability; mental health problems
• Lowest 5% SES: only 13% of children problem free. • Non disadvantaged upper 50% SES: 81% of children
problem free. (Christchurch Health & Development Study, 2009)

Tasmania: Children at RiskOver last 10 years:• 76% increase in child protection notifications• Children < 5yo notifications more than doubled• Most socially disadvantaged children 5x more likely to be
notified. (Kids come first update, 2013)
National comparison:• Lowest number of notifications investigated• Highest number of notifications validated • Number of children in out of home care doubled: 13/1000• OOHC 30% higher than the national average. Highest rates in
Australia outside of indigenous communities. (AIHW 2014)

Limited Economic Resource Base
• Tasmania: 8.6% unemploymentc/f Australia 5.8%
• 1/3 of Tasmanians on Commonwealth benefits;
• 1/3 of Tasmanians in public sector jobs• 20% work for private corporations primarily
reliant on government contracts• 10% in private enterprise with vested interest
in economic development (West, 2013)

When should we intervene?
![Page 18: Conception to Community](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110213/56814356550346895dafd25c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Intervention is most effective when the brain
is most able to change
![Page 20: Conception to Community](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110213/56814356550346895dafd25c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Neuroscience & Early intervention• Conception to age two is the critical period in
brain development.• Gene-environment interactions in utero and
during infancy shape the structure and function of the brain.
• After age 2 capacity for change is limited.• “Mother” is the environment for the infant.• In utero: maternal nutrition, substance use,
mental illness and stress influence epigenetic modification of gene expression
• In infancy: as stable and appropriate attachment figure
![Page 21: Conception to Community](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110213/56814356550346895dafd25c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Brain development
![Page 22: Conception to Community](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110213/56814356550346895dafd25c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Genes, Epigenetics& Brain Development
• Epigenetics:Experiences (nutrition, toxins, drugs, stress) leave a chemical signature on the genes (methylation, histone modification)changing how and when certain genes are turned on and off without altering DNA in itself.
• Temporary epigenetic chemical modifications control expression of most of our genes.
• However, certain experiences cause enduring epigenetic modification in genes. This is true for genes playing key roles in brain development and behaviour.
• Some epigenetic changes occurring in the foetus can be heritable and passed on to later generations
![Page 23: Conception to Community](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110213/56814356550346895dafd25c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Infant Development• Infant’s environment is primary caregiver:
critical period for development of attachmentearly maturation of socioemotional brain
• Secure attachment with an stable and appropriate caregiver within first two years of life is necessary for optimal neurodevelopment, health and well being
• Lack of a appropriate primary caregiver before age 2 leads to neurodevelopmental deficits and cognitive, social and emotional disorders that later intervention cannot remediate
• Toxic stress impacts on developing brain
(Schore, 2000; Glover, 2011; Perry, 1995 )

Bucharest Early Intervention Project• Romanian orphans <2yo. • 3 groups: Never institutionalised
Removed to Foster CareRemained in Institution
• Assessments: Physical growth; Cognitive function; Language; Social/Emotional function; Attachment; Behaviour; MRI; EEG
• Institutionalised children: growth retarded; microcephalic; lower IQ (60-70); High rates of emotional and behavioural problems; Language disorder; Poor social/emotional skills: Reactive Attachment Disorder-disinhibited; EEG- Low levels of activity; MRI small brain- reduced gray and white matter.
![Page 26: Conception to Community](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110213/56814356550346895dafd25c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Bucharest Early Intervention Project• Fostered Children: Improvements on most measures for
those fostered prior to age 2. Did not recover to be as Never Institutionalised children. IQ 80 (normal 100). Persistent problems with attention and executive functions. MRI showed increased white but not grey matter. Earlier removal to foster care lead to better outcomes.
• Those fostered after age two – almost indistinguishable from Institutionalised group
• Child must be in safe, stable, appropriate attachment relationship prior to age 2 to develop normally.
• Brain development is experience dependent and early severe deprivation leads to smaller brain with fewer neurones and fewer connections.

Broader Role for Professionals
• Core only : “it’s not my concern”• Core role plus referral: It’s a concern but refer
because it’s someone else’s job• Other needs incidental but unavoidable:
“it’s not my core role but I have to do it”• Other needs intrinsic part of my core role:
“it’s part and parcel of my job”(Dorothy Scott, 1992)

and disadvantage• Mediated by disorganised attachment: abuse,
neglect, trauma.• Implications for therapeutic interventions

Disorganised Attachment
From all the measurements taken during the first 6 years of life,
the strongest predictor of psychopathology in adolescence (17.5 years)
was Disorganised Attachment, measured at 12 and 18 months of age.
(Sroufe, Egeland, Carlson & Collins 2005)
![Page 42: Conception to Community](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110213/56814356550346895dafd25c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
5% of children in normal populations and over 50% of children whose parents have severe mental illness, alcohol and drug use or domestic
violence.have Disorganised Attachment
This is a MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH challenge

risk: Parenting with Feeling; Tulane• Distribution of Resources: Equitably, across age rangeIn line with evidence-base: early intervention

• The foundations of a sense of community are created in the attachments, bonds, sense of safety and stimulus to growth, created in the first 3 years of life.
• Capacity building starts with creating the ability to trust, love and share, grown in the relationships between family members.
• Our most precious resource is emerging families.
