Nottinghamshire CAMHS Mental Health Support Team

The CAMHS Mental Health Support Team is a new collaborative service across health and education, available in project schools across Nottinghamshire.

We are an early intervention mental health and wellbeing service in schools aimed at providing support for children, young people and families around low-level emotional wellbeing needs, such as anxiety, low mood, managing emotions, and sleep. We link in directly with Nottinghamshire CAMHS teams and provide in school sessions to promote positive mental health. Our work is delivered on a 1:1 and group/workshop basis.

We also provide additional well-being training for teachers to promote and maintain their own mental health as they promote a wider whole school approach to mental health.

The schools included in this project have a member of staff who is a designated Mental Health Lead,  who will act as the link between the service and school and they can refer directly into our service. For a list of schools, currently signed up to the project please  follow this link.

We will also take self referrals from young people and their families directly into the CAMHS Single Point of Access (SPA) on 0115 854 2299. We will ask your permission before informing school of your participation in the project.

Referrals should please be sent to SPAReferrals@nottshc.nhs.uk (please note this email address is case sensitive and once received you will be sent an automatic reply to acknowledge receipt)

For enquiries please contact CAMHSMHSTTrailblazer1@nottshc.nhs.uk or call the office on 0115 876 0167.
