Children and Young People's Mental Health: The Path to Recovery

CAMHS provides vital support to many children and young people and their families throughout the UK and their intervention can be life changing and instrumental in preventing loss of life. However, the service is overstretched, with an ongoing rise in people seeking help and the number receiving treatment reaching an all-time high. It is feared that this relentless rise is unsustainable and overwhelming.

Open Forum Events has hosted several past conferences, bringing together the CAMHS community, to highlight the challenges and applaud the many examples of excellence.

The Children and Young People's Mental Health: The Path to Recovery conference is another opportunity to disseminate the latest information, share best practice and articulate the path for improvement.

Prior to the pandemic there was an already increasing demand for CAMHS, however, children and young people have since experienced lockdowns, school closures, isolation from friends, withdrawal from society and a reduction in the access to support when in crisis. According to NHS figures, in April 2022, 66,389 young people aged 19 and under were referred to child and adolescent mental health services in April, a 109% rise compared to the same month pre-pandemic.

This hugely relevant conference will feature a series of informative and insightful plenary presentations, showcase examples of best practice and provide the setting for professional networking and discussion. The programme will feature: a line up of expert speakers addressing key issues and opportunities; interactive question and answer sessions; and casual networking breaks.

Book your place today at the Children and Young People's Mental Health: The Path to Recovery conference and join like-minded peers to explore how mental health service providers can be better equipped to provide the necessary support to such a high number of children and young people.
