The Lambeth CAMHS Youth Justice Service is part of Lambeth Child and
Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). We work with young people
known to the Lambeth Council Youth Justice Service (YJS) who have mental
health difficulties.
Our team is embedded within Lambeth Council’s Youth Justice Service. We
offer tier 2 and tier 3 assessment and intervention. We offer a range
of therapeutic interventions to young people; this includes one to one
sessions, family therapy, and group therapy.
Our team includes a dedicated a clinical specialist who works with
professionals, young people and families where there are concerns of
sexually harmful behaviour.
We also have a dedicated liaison and diversion mental health
professional who offers early assessment and intervention to young
people coming into contact with the criminal justice system.
We aim to work flexibly and creatively with our young people in order to
help meet their needs. The young people that we work with are often
vulnerable with complex and diverse needs, and so we work closely with
other services involved in the young person’s care including children’s
services, police and schools.
Our team members come from varied backgrounds that include child and
adolescent psychiatry, clinical and counselling psychology, community
psychiatric nursing and mental health social work.
We are based at the Lambeth Civic Centre, and our appointments often
take place in various community sites within the borough. We can also
see young people at one of the other community Lambeth CAMHS mental
health centres.
