Summary

The service is based around three locality teams, consisting of specialist clinicians who can offer assessment and a range of interventions. Interventions can vary from short term treatments for those with mild to moderate mental health problems; to more complex treatments for children and young people experiencing more severe and complex problems. Assessment and treatment can be offered to children from 5 years to age 18 years. A small number of children may require support under the age of 5 years in partnership with other child health colleagues.
