About this service
Walsall CAMHS is a specialist mental health service commissioned to provide interventions to those children, young people and their families who are experiencing moderate to severe mental health difficulties.
We currently support young people up to the age of 18 with a GP registered in the Walsall area.
Referral Process:
When an appropriate referral is received we will offer the young person an initial assessment appointment which provides the young person and family/carers to explore their mental health needs with a CAMHS clinician. At the end of this appointment it may be that a specialist mental health service is not appropriate and we can therefore discuss alternative options and support the referral process to such services where possible. If it is felt CAMHS would be helpful we will discuss appropriate interventions and support with the young person and their family. In cases that are deemed appropriate for therapeutic intervention, young people are allocated a clinician and regular appointments to undertake this. Our work aims to promote the positive mental health of children and young people in Walsall.
Referrals will be accepted for children and young people who are registered with a Black Country GP up until their 18th birthday.
