Think different
Cooperation rather than separation can give the industrialization of the health care system an efficient and human side. In the canton of Berne, this cooperation existed in the form of the historically grown model of the House Community of Educational Counseling (EB) and Child and Youth Psychiatric Polyclinic (KJPP). Since the triage was managed internally by the two services, neither the school, nor the parents, nor the outside specialists, including the children and general practitioners, had to make a decision about the place of the application, a great benefits for the population in general, as well as for the assigning children and house doctors. How this cooperation worked will be documented by different examples.


Act
Trauma disorders caused by long-term physical and mental ill-treatment, neglect but also of non treated accidents, disease operations, etc. are often not immediately identifiable as such, but lead to learning, development and behavioral disorders which are often attributed to fashionable disease and symptom models. A consideration of behavioral problems under a psychotraumatological view, a careful diagnostic evaluation and traumaspecific information can enable the school to build a different relationship with difficult children.
