As a parent or carer of a young child or adolescent, you may have serious concerns about their emotional well-being and behaviours.
Our specially trained staff at CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service) will work with you and your child to tackle your concerns. As all families or young people are different, our response will depend on your particular needs. We work in a variety of ways including family work, individual counselling, parent counselling, group therapy and play therapy.
We offer a wide range of services to help children and young people overcome problems such as:
- Depression
- Eating Disorder
- School Refusal
- Substance Misuse
- Developmental Difficulties
- Psychotic Illness
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
