LanGP: CAMHS and Neurodevelopmental Service for Children and Young People

Part of the Insights into Mental Health Services in Lanarkshire series.

In this episode, we explore Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and Neurodevelopmental Services in Lanarkshire. We discuss the structure of CAMHS, referral and triage processes, multidisciplinary working, which children and young people are most likely to benefit from specialist input, and alternative sources of support when CAMHS involvement may not be required. We also explore resources available to children, young people and families, and provide an overview of the neurodevelopmental pathway for children and young people.
