Tower Hamlets Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (known as CAMHS) offers assessment, help and support to children, young people, and their families who are experiencing emotional, behavioural or mental health difficulties. Whether this is impacting the young person at home, at school, or in their relationships, we will listen to find out what has been happening, how it is affecting the young person and those around them, and help find a way forward.
We provide services from two locations:
18 Greatorex Street, Whitechapel, London, E1 5NF
T: 0207 426 2375/2400
We can offer after-hours sessions by arrangement.
Both centres are open: 9 am-5pm, Monday to Friday
The Emmanuel Miller Centre, 11 Gill Street, Isle of Dogs, London, E14 8HQ
T: 0208 215 5230

The Tower Hamlets Education Wellbeing Service works with school staff to develop whole school approaches for mentally healthy schools.
It can be daunting for young people and adults when they come to their first appointment. The below film (3 mins) has been made by young people and shares the actual fears and perceptions they had prior to attending the service. Thanks to Copperwheat Films for their work in producing: Fears about Mental Health Support
We welcome your feedback and want to be as responsive as we can to your experiences, good and bad. There are three effective ways of talking to us about your views and experience.
1. Participation - We have a dedicated Participation Worker who has lived experience of using CAMHS. They will listen to any feedback or experience of CAMHS and there are monthly youth and parent/carer forums where people using the service can have their say and work alongside staff to improve the service. Go here for participation
2. Care Opinion
3. Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) - PALS can help you make an official complaint if the service has not responded to your feedback
