About this service
We work with children and young people with a range of moderate to severe mental health needs including anxiety, low mood, depression, self-harm, obsessive-compulsive disorders, psychosis and the effects of trauma.
We are a friendly multidisciplinary service that assesses them when their difficulties have become hard to manage and/or where there are concerns about their behaviour or emotional wellbeing. We offer a range of therapeutic interventions which focus on problems and thinking about things in a different way together.
Our approach is to work in an open, collaborative and supportive way with children, young people and their families who may be offered:
Assessment and planned individualised treatment programmes for children and young people experiencing severe persistent mental health problems and disorders
Assessment, treatment and support for children and young people with mild to moderate learning disabilities and/or complex health care needs and their families
Family appointments to think about ways to resolve problems together
Individual therapy for young people to help them understand their feelings better and find new ways of coping
Medication may be prescribed by a child and adolescent psychiatrist
Mental health assessment and support
Working closely with, and offer support for, other professionals about how best to help individual children and young people.
All referrals to CAMHS go through the YOUNITED. YOUnited provides emotional wellbeing and mental health help for children and young people aged 5 to 17 registered with a GP in YOUnited logoCambridgeshire and Peterborough.
If you are a professional with concerns about a child or young person’s emotional wellbeing and would like advice prior to, or instead of, making a referral you can contact the Emotional Health and Wellbeing Practitioners at [email protected]
