Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMHS)

The Child and Adolescent Mental Health service (CAMHS) special interest group provides a national forum for social workers working in CAMHS or interested in this area of work. We meet and discuss issues of relevance, contribute to relevant national policy, facilitate CPD, and have representation on relevant national groups.

During the Covid Period we have moved our work online and increased the numbers of meetings that we are holding. We use the meeting to support one another, raise issues and share ideas. Everyone working in the area is welcome to join. We have created a link to share resources that people may find useful
