Wirral 0-18 Children and Young People's Mental Health Service (CYPMHS) - Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust

 

Wirral 0-18 Children and Young People’s Mental Health Service (CYPMHS) – formerly known as CAMHS – is a community-based specialist service providing mental health assessments and evidence based psychological treatments for children and young people with moderate to severe mental health difficulties, which is where mental health difficulties are having a significant impact on day-to-day functioning in more than one area of their lives.

Our aim is to provide a service that works in partnership with families/carers, is person and family centred and is focused on the needs of the child/young person.

We offer assessments and evidence-based treatment pathways based on goals identified by the young person and their family, adopting a multi-agency approach for children and young people. The work is time limited, focusing on treatments which build skills, knowledge and understanding to empower young people and their families to self-manage mental health issues in the future. For young people with difficulties that may be linked to autism, ADHD, conduct disorder or oppositional defiant disorder we only offer assessment and interventions where there are co-morbid moderate to severe mental health difficulties as described above.

We do not offer treatment or other assessments for autism, ADHD, conduct disorder or oppositional defiant disorder where there are no co-morbid mental health difficulties and will signpost for assessment to local pathways or support to other agencies. However, young people with autism, ADHD, conduct disorder or oppositional defiant disorder will be offered treatment for additional moderate/severe mental health problems.
