Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS)

Also known as: CAMHS

Children and young people’s mental health  Bath and North East Somerset Buckinghamshire Oxfordshire Swindon Trust-wide Wiltshire Children and young people

CAMHS stands for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service.

CAMHS help children and young people up to 18 who are finding it hard to cope with everyday life because of difficult feelings, behaviour or relationships.

Most of the time when we are sad, angry, stressed or worried these feelings pass within a few days, but if they go on for a while and stop us enjoying and coping with life, then CAMHS can help.

At Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, we work with youngsters in Bath & NE Somerset, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Swindon and Wiltshire.

How we can help

We provide flexible support to suit your needs.

  • Initially we will find out more about the difficulties you are having.
  • We will discuss the sort of treatment and support that is likely to help and agree a plan with you.
  • Sometimes a few sessions will be enough to get you back on track. Sometimes you may need to meet with us for longer.
  • Most importantly you will be fully involved and the plan we agree together will be reviewed regularly to make sure it is still helping.
