Navigating mental health challenges in children and teens can be daunting for families, but My Health Assistant connects you with professionals in Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) to support your child’s wellbeing. These services provide specialised support to help young people manage emotional, psychological, and behavioural difficulties.
CAMHS are specialised mental health services designed to support children and adolescents struggling with mental health challenges. These services focus on early intervention and tailored care, helping young people build resilience and cope with issues such as anxiety, depression, and behavioural difficulties. CAMHS professionals often include psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors, and social workers who collaborate to create effective, child-focused treatment plans.
CAMHS services are suitable for children and adolescents experiencing issues such as anxiety, depression, behavioural problems, or difficulties related to life changes, bullying, or trauma. If you notice persistent changes in your child’s behaviour, mood, or social interactions, CAMHS may be a helpful step. Always consult with a mental health professional to determine the best approach for your child’s specific needs.
During an initial CAMHS consultation, a professional will assess your child’s mental health through discussions, questionnaires, or observation. Based on the assessment, they will develop a personalised treatment plan that may include individual therapy, family therapy, or group sessions. Progress is monitored, and the plan is adjusted as needed to meet evolving needs.
CAMHS practitioners understand the demands of family life and offer flexible appointment options. Whether you’re balancing work, school, or extracurricular activities, CAMHS professionals can work with your family to find convenient times for sessions, ensuring your child receives consistent support.
If you're concerned about your child’s mental health, take the first step by connecting with a CAMHS professional through My Health Assistant. Find compassionate, specialised support near you to help your child thrive.
