CAMHS stands for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.
We support children and young people aged 0-18 (and their families) with a wide range of mental health difficulties in Derby and South Derbyshire.
Mental health is something we all have and, just like physical health, at some times in our lives we struggle with it. Sometimes we develop mental health problems, such as feeling very sad or worrying a lot. When this happens, these difficulties can stop us living our life in the way we want to. There is lots of support available for all types of difficulties and we have a whole team dedicated to working out which service is right for you.
The children and young people who come to CAMHS have a wide range of difficulties. So, if you come to see us, you are not alone. Did you know around one in five children and young people (aged 8 to 25) have a probable mental health disorder? That's about six children in every classroom.
