Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS)
Contact:Listing for each borough overleaf
Borough:Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington & Chelsea, Westminster
Service Levels:
Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services work with children from 0 to their 18th birthday and their families. They are commissioned across 4 Tiers of service as detailed in the diagram below:
All CAMH services can support transition into adult services, however the 18th birthday cut off for CAMH services and the higher thresholds for access to adult mental health services is a nationally recognised issue. The introduction of IAPT for adult services has gone some way to addressing the threshold issues, however young people’s willingness to access services via a GP remains an area to be considered and addressed locally.
