Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service

CAMHS stands for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. We provide mental health assessment and treatment for children, young people (aged 0-16) and their families. As CAMHS is a specialist service, children and young people need to be referred by another professional, for example, a Doctor, Health Visitor, School Nurse, Teacher or Social Worker. Were not a hospital and we dont have beds, but we do have many different specialists who are experts in childrens and young peoples emotional and mental health.
