Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service

Providing support and treatment to children and young people with mental health problems...

Please note, this service is available by referral only *

Operational hours

Monday to Friday: 9am to 5pm

CAMHS stands for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. We provide mental health assessment and treatment for children, young people (aged 0-18) 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.

We're not a hospital and we don't have beds, but we do have many different specialists who are experts in children's and young people's emotional and mental health.
