About this Event
EN-CAMHS is responding to an urgent need to improve the referral process into child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS), at present that there are long waiting times to access the service and a lack of other appropriate sources of support for children and young people (CYP).
We know that CYP and their families/carers are experiencing significant distress due to these problems and that often, their mental health difficulties worsen.
In 2020/2021 a report highlighted approximately 25% of CYP referred into CAMHS were not accepted for treatment. EN-CAMHS has extensively engaged stakeholders to clarify the barriers they face to making appropriate referrals, and analysed CAMHS referral data to understand and identify problems within the referral process. Through the extensive engagement with key CAMHS stakeholders, this project has also highlighted potential solutions to these problems.
The EN-CAMHS dissemination event will share the findings of this project with delegates, and promote discussions around both digital and non-digital solutions to some of the pain points within the CAMHS referral process.
