Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service
This service is a specialist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) for children and Young People aged 0-16th birthday, and their families, who are experiencing significant emotional, behavioural and mental health difficulties.
The Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) is committed to providing a therapeutic service for children, young people and their families living in Lanarkshire. We endeavour to be accessible in such a way that families and children find it easy to engage and work with us. We aim to help young people and families to make the changes they wish to make. We value openness and respect for individuals’ wishes in the context of helping children to develop in a healthy way that allows them as full a range of choices in adulthood as is possible.
There are Five CAMHS Teams covering the Lanarkshire area. The service is an outpatient service provided mainly at the three locations where the teams are based.
