A guide to our straightforward process of making a referral - for children, young people, families, schools and carers:
The Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) provides outpatient assessments, support and treatment for children and young people up to the age of 18 experiencing moderate to severe mental health problems. The service works to provide them with a greater knowledge of their condition and improve coping techniques. See our specialist CAMHS website for more information.
We provide help to children and to the wider family, including those with living with foster parents, adopted children and young people living in children’s homes.
