How our service can help you
The Children Looked After Mental Health Service (CLAMHS) is part of
Lambeth Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). We are a
team that provides assessment, care and intervention for children and
young people, up to the age of 18, who have mental health difficulties.
We care for children and young people who are looked after by the London
Borough of Lambeth.
We work with a very diverse population that are often the most
vulnerable children and young people, who have experienced trauma
including sexual, emotional and physical abuse as well as complex mental
health needs.
Our aim is to provide stability for the children, and young people
that see us, and to support their mental health and wellbeing. We also
provide regular consultation and support to foster carers, social
workers and other professionals involved when there is a concern, and we
also run regular training courses for foster carers.
Our team members come from varied backgrounds that can include child
and adolescent psychiatrists, mental health social workers, clinical
psychologists, community psychiatric nurses, child psychotherapists,
occupational therapists, as well as art, music and drama therapists.
We are based at William Geoffrey House where most of our appointments
take place. We can also see children and young people at one of the
other community Lambeth CAMHS mental health centres.
