How our service can help you
The Croydon CAMHS Child Wellbeing Practitioner Team provides a mental
health service to young people who may not meet the threshold for
Croydon Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS).
The team provides short-term, low intensity, evidence-based, guided
self-help interventions for children, young people and their parents or
carers for treatment of mild to moderate anxiety, low mood, or mild
behavioural difficulties.
Young people and their parents or carers will be offered up to eight
sessions of guided self-help which will involve of a mixture of face to
face and phone, or Skype appointments. Sometimes we may ask parents or
carers to attend on their own depending on the age of the young person.
In additional to individual sessions the team also run workshops to
promote the emotional wellbeing of children and young people, for
example, ÔExam Stress' or ÔSleep'.
Referrals
All referrals must be made by a professional associated with the
child's care via the Croydon Single Point of Contact (SPOC) webpage
.
Referrals can be made by a GP, paediatrician, school teacher, or
social worker. Our team is unable to accept referrals from parents,
carers, or self-referrals by the child or young person.
