Young Peoples Transition Pathway

Transitioning from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) to Adult Mental Health Services can feel like a big step, but you're not alone. We're here to support you every step of the way. 

As you move into adult services, you'll continue to receive the care and support you need, tailored to your individual needs. Our team will work closely with you to make this transition as smooth as possible, ensuring that your voice is heard, and your concerns are addressed. 

Whether it's understanding your new care plan or getting to know your new team, we're committed to helping you feel confident and supported throughout this process.
