Children and young people’s mental health services, or children and adolescent mental health services are multi disciplinary teams specifically supporting children who experience difficulties with their mental health.
Parents/carers can also seek information, support and advice on how best to support their child’s health, wellbeing and behaviour.
Teams typically include occupational and play therapists.
Local services vary, as do referral processes and waiting times. You can find out more about accessing the services in your area from your local clinical commissioning group website.
