About the service

The CAMHS (child and adolescent mental health services) South Stoke Team supports the emotional wellbeing and mental health of children and young people. The team is a child and adolescent community mental health team consisting of staff from a range of backgrounds including mental health nurses, cognitive behavioural therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health practitioners, social workers, play and parenting specialists, occupational therapists and administrators.
The team works with children and young people up to the age of 18 years old who are experiencing significant difficulties with their emotional wellbeing/mental health, or where there are concerns regarding their development which could be seen as consistent with a neuro-developmental disorder such as Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD assessments can be carried out for children over 6 years of age.

The service offers assessments to understand a child/young person’s difficulties and, where appropriate, deliver specialist interventions guided by evidence-based practice and guidelines.

The team offers a range of therapeutic options including:

  • psychological assessment
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for difficulties including anxiety and depression
  • Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) for young people having difficulties regulating their emotions
  • occupational therapy assessment and treatment
  • neuro-developmental assessment
  • The New Forest Programme for parents of young people diagnosed with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  • Triple P Parenting Programme
  • systemic family work
  • behavioural work for young people experiencing phobias, anxiety and low mood


Please note
: We do not offer counselling services, as our partnership agencies have the expertise to deliver a counselling model and are therefore best placed to see children requiring this intervention.

We work collaboratively with other agencies involved in children/young people’s care, including Education, Health and Social Care.

Referrals

All referrals for the service are made through the Crisis Care Centre by self-referral, or via General Practitioners (GP) and other agencies including Education and Social Care.
