Professionals
The Community Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) teams offer treatment for mild to severe emotional health and mental health needs, for young people up to the age of 18 and their families.
Some of the young people we see are experiencing things such as anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, depression and bipolar.
The support we give is part of a wider group of agencies to make sure that young people receive the right treatment from the right service.
Community CAMHS has three teams covering different areas across Nottinghamshire. There are also specialist teams which provide further support, these are:
- Eating Disorders Team
- What About Me (WAM)
- Head 2 Head
- CAMHS Crisis and Home Treatment Team
- Intellectual Disability Team (IDD)
- Children Looked After and Adoption Team
- Paediatric Liaison Team
- Primary Mental Health Team
- Substance Misuse Service (SMS)
- Face It
More information about each of these services can be found in our A-Z of services.
