How our service can help you
The Croydon CAMHS Getting Help Team provides a safe, effective,
responsive service where staff involve and treat children, young people
and their families with compassion, kindness, dignity and respect.
Our service is for children, young people and their families that have
had an initial assessment with the
Getting Advice Team
and require further help.
During the assessment with the Getting Advice Team, the care pathway
and treatment plan will be agreed with the family and recorded. If we
feel that further help is needed after assessment, we will add the young
person to the treatment waiting list for the Getting Help Team.
Treatment with us ranges from short to long term, and may involve face
to face sessions, and indirect work with the parent, carer or
professional from another agency. We may also refer you to another
agency, specialist service, help you with access to another CAMHS
service, or mental health promotion and mental health education service
if needed.
We will always keep young person, their family, GP and the referrer
informed of the outcome of the assessment, treatment and care plan. A
closing summary will also be sent to all parties at the end of the spell
of care.
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.
Our team members
Our service is made up of a number of professionals from different
backgrounds who work together to provide multi-disciplinary care. This
may include psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, clinical specialists,
systemic family therapists, CAMHS practitioners, assistant
psychologists, trainees and administrators.
