CAMHS and LD CAMHS - Child & Adolescent Mental Health Service
Community CAMHS services offers a full range of services for children and young people (up to their 18th birthday) experiencing mental health problems and mental disorders.
How it can help
The services provided by specialist CAMH professionals will support early identification and early intervention services. They provide support to Children’s Workforce practitioners and act as a bridge between the different parts of the mental health service.
Services will also provide for children/young people with more severe, complex, or persistent disorders. They are delivered from multi-disciplinary systems/teams.
Aims of the service
- To improve and enhance the emotional wellbeing and mental health of children and young people who are experiencing emotional and mental distress and ill health.
- To provide high quality, comprehensive, multi-disciplinary, and multi-modal specialist child mental health provision to the children and families of Tees and support seamless transition to adult services.
- To provide effective, outcome focused services that put the needs of children, young people and their families and carers at the centre of their care and are delivered as part of an integrated model of multi-agency service provision.
