We provide assessment, consultation and treatment for children and young people with moderate to severe, and complex mental health problems. The locality CAMHS teams work with children and young people aged 5 to 18 years old.
The service provides psychological interventions to children, young people, and their parent or carers. We also work with children and young people with co-morbid moderate to severe mental health and neurodiversity needs, this support is focussed on the mental health need, with the relevant adaptions to support engagement.
The service is made up of multi-disciplinary teams of mental health professionals such as:
psychiatrists
psychologists
nurses
psychotherapists
systemic therapists
art therapists
cognitive behavioural therapists
support workers.
Referrals to locality CAMHS are received by the Access Team. The team provide a consultation and will triage the referral information to ensure referrals are signposted to the correct CAMHS or an alternative service.
If the referral is appropriate for assessment with a CAMHS locality team, the child or young person will receive an acceptance letter from the Access team to confirm this. Following the acceptance, the child or young person will be placed on a waiting list for assessment with the relevant locality team. The locality team is decided based on GP practice.
