Yes. We ask visitors to speak with a member of the team to book the visit with at least 24 hours’ notice. This is to make sure there will be room available for your visit.
However, we will do our best to accommodate your visit as it is important for you to maintain contact with your friend or family. If this is not possible, we may ask your visit to take place at a different time.
If your CAMHS worker feels you would benefit from an in-patient admission, they would discuss this with the Community Psychiatrist and the Inpatient Team to agree the next steps.
For CAMHS professionals please follow the NHS England Tier 4 operating Handbook Protocol.
Giving our children and young people opportunities to open up is one of the most helpful things we can do as parents and carers to support their wellbeing. It is powerful to share what they’re going through and ensuring our children and young people feel heard.
Even though you can’t fix everything when your child is struggling, you can make them feel seen and understood, and this in itself can make them feel more able to cope. Talking about how they are, how their day has been and what’s on their mind as part of everyday family life shows your child that you're interested in them and want to listen. It also supports them to practise thinking and talking about their feelings, helping them to get to know themselves and what they need. Talking isn't always easy, sometimes we don’t know when it's a good time, or how your young person will react. You might be worried about making things worse or saying the wrong thing. If this is the case, try to remember that your child doesn't need you to always get it right - they just need to know you're there.
Completing activities including mindfulness, colouring, sport activities or simply a walk may be a useful tool to help your child to open up.
As part of CAMHS journey to trauma-informed care, we use the ARC framework to think how to support children, young people and their families. ARC stands for Attachment, Regulation and Competency.
