CAMHS stands for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. Specialist CAMHS are the NHS services that assesses and treat young people with emotional, behavioural or mental health difficulties that are impacting on their daily life. You can find a Guide to CAMHS on the Young Minds website.

Referrals to specialist CAMHS are accepted from a variety of health professionals including GPs and hospital doctors (if urgent assessment required) as well as from school nurses and health visitors.

If you think it would help to talk to somebody at specialist CAMHS, you (or your parent or the person who looks after you) will need to speak to a health professional  like your GP or your school nurse. They will then tell you what you need to do and what happens next.

Alternatively, you or your parent/carer can contact the single point of access for further advice.

The single point of access for the TEWV service(covering all of North Yorkshire except Craven) is: 0300 0134 778

Information on how to access the BDCT service (covering the Craven part of North Yorkshire) is on the BDCT website.
