CAMHS stands for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. It’s the part of the NHS which helps children and young people who have problems with their thoughts or feelings. We can help people until they are 18.  If someone like a teacher or your doctor is worried about you, they can write to CAMHS to see if we can help you. This is called making a referral. The person who is going to write to us has to get your permission first. As long as we think you are able to decide, it's up to you whether or not we let your parents know.

If you are having trouble with your thoughts or feelings talk to your parents or carers, or an adult you trust.  There is a useful website called Health for Teens that you may find useful:  http://www.healthforteens.co.uk/

Most children who get help from CAMHS see one of our community teams. This normally means you will come to see us for weekly appointments at one of our bases, at a health centre or at your school.  We have lots of people working for us who can help you in different ways. These include:

• family therapists – who talk through problems with you and your family
• CAMHS social workers – who support children and families through difficult times
• family support workers – who can give advice to your parents or carers
• mental health practitioners – who support young people and their families to bring about positive change
• psychologists – experts in how people think and act
• psychiatrists – doctors who work on thoughts and feelings
• art psychotherapists – who can help you by using art and music

Information for parents and carers can be found at: http://bit.ly/2sgBCkS

As well as our community teams, we have some teams which work on other difficulties. These include:

• problems with eating

The project uses angling as a means to inspire and motivate young people to develop an interest in and enjoy learning by teaching them how to set out to catch specimen sized fish of a variety of species. This becomes a transferable skill. CAST encourages young people to recognise the merits of learning skills in order to achieve goals and understand the links between education and success. Activities and groups developed by CAST are designed to engage young people in long term project activities and in the case of community based projects this long term programme is supported by the recruitment of adult volunteers and the development of social enterprise activities.
