Child Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS)
Our Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) provides a comprehensive and high quality service to children and young people experiencing difficulties which are seriously impacting on their mental health and emotional well being.
Children and young people can be referred when they are encountering severe difficulties that require specialist mental health services not provided in primary care. This specialist service extends to families and carers.
Interventions range in intensity from consultation to other professionals through to inpatient treatment. There is a 24 hour, seven-days-a-week psychiatric on-call service.
The CAMHS service works in partnership with colleagues in other departments throughout the Trust and with other agencies and the voluntary sector.
The service comprises the following clinical teams:
The Becton Centre for Children and Young People
The Becton Centre for Children and Young People is a state-of-the-art centre for children and young adults up to the age of 18 with mental health issues and learning disabilities. The centre offers intensive treatment, day, and inpatient services.
Community CAMHS
The Trust has two community CAMHS teams working at differant locations across the city. The community CMAHS teams provide a comprehensive and high quality service to children and young people registered with a General Practitioner, who are experiencing difficulties which are impacting on their mental health and emotional wellbeing.
Other CAMHS teams:
- Community Learning Disabilities and Mental Health Team
- Forensic Team
- Multi-Agency Psychological Support (MAPS) - city wide team for Looked After Children
- Multi-agency Training
