Ruby Lodge

Ruby Lodge is a seven bed inpatient unit for children and young people with learning disabilities, aged from 8 until their 18th birthday who have severe and complex mental health and behavioural problems.

We want make sure that every young person with a learning disability and mental health problem is able to maximise their potential for learning and independence, mental and social inclusion and to enjoy a safe, happy family life.

We support families to make their experience with us as successful as possible and hold inclusive review meetings for the child, family and those involved in their care every four weeks to make sure assessments happen as quickly as possible.

We can also support patients and their carers to effectively plan ongoing care on discharge from the lodge. Going out and about, family time including home leave, play and education are all an important part of being at Ruby Lodge.

Epic Friends

The Sheffield CAMHS team developed the Epic Friends website to help young people who think their friends may have mental health problems.

The site offers advice on a range of issues including bullying, depression, anxiety, family problems, self-harm and eating disorders. It also offers guidance on when to seek help and where to go for further support.

Epic Friends was funded by The Children’s Hospital Charity.
