Intensive<\/span><\/strong>
\nThe East Renfrewshire and South West Glasgow (CAMHS) team offers assessment and intervention to children and<\/span>
\nyoung people 0-18 years who are experiencing moderate to severe mental health difficulties. These difficulties can<\/span>
\nresult in persistent symptoms of psychological distress. The difficulties may cause significant impairment in day-today<\/span>
\nfunctioning and\/or there may be a risk that the child\/young person may cause serious harm to themselves or<\/span>
\nothers.<\/span>
\nThe CAMHS team is made up of a range of health workers such as: psychiatry, clinical psychology, mental health<\/span>
\nnursing, family therapy, speech and language therapy and occupational therapy. Each professional has different<\/span>
\nskills and it is not unusual for some children\/young people to see more than one team member across their time<\/span>
\nin CAMHS. The team will consider environmental, social, family, psychological and biological factors.<\/span>
\nAt the initial assessment appointment the child\/young person and family will be asked about their difficulties,<\/span>
\nas well as strengths and protective factors. The aim is to come to a joint understanding of the current situation,<\/span>
\nand a plan going forward. This plan may include help from other services. Some children\/young people may<\/span>
\nrequire further assessment or intervention within the CAMHS team. Dependent on need, interventions can include:<\/span>
\ntherapeutic group work, ongoing work with other agencies involved, family therapy or individual therapeutic<\/span>
\napproaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy. For some of these children\/young people it may also be helpful<\/span>
\nfor them to be started on medication. The CAMHS team will also ask the child\/young person\u2019s<\/span>
\nand family\u2019s permission to contact other agencies who have been involved to date, to obtain further information<\/span>
\non what has been helpful.<\/span><\/p>\n
