Details of Service:
HSE Community Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) provide specialist secondary mental health services to children aged up to 18 years, who have moderate to severe mental disorders that require the input of a multi-disciplinary mental health team.
The vast majority of CAMHS interventions are delivered in the community, close to people's homes.
The assessments and interventions provided by CAMHS teams depend on the severity and complexity of a child or adolescent's presentation.
These assessments and interventions are completed in partnership with the child or adolescent and their parent(s).
The HSE Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service aims to:
· Provide clinical assessment, formulation, diagnosis and multi-disciplinary interventions to children and adolescents based on their identified needs.
· Provide advice, information and support to parent(s).
This will assist them to positively support children and adolescents with moderate to severe mental disorders at home.
· Provide advice and consultation to referral agents.
The aim is to enhance their understanding of the role of CAMHS and its referral thresholds to ensure that children and adolescents can access help within the right setting.
· Implement a Recovery Approach as outlined in the HSE A National Framework for Recovery in Mental Health Services 2018-2020.
