Locality Team in Children & Young People's Mental Health Services (CYPMHS)

The aim of our CYPMHS is to respond earlier to children and young people's needs in order to help prevent, reduce, or delay the need for more specialist interventions. This transformation of children and young people's mental health services has a clinical focus, integrated with local authorities to deliver a long-term collaborative approach to planning and delivering services.

CYPMHS focuses on emotional wellbeing as well as mental health and includes access to self-help tools and services based in schools and the community. The CAMHS Tier II and Tier III service no longer exist, replaced with an integrated CYPMHS. Training and support are available to other professionals and agencies.
