Improving mental health referrals for children and young people
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study brings together people who have been through the CAMHS referral process - including young people, families, and staff - to talk about their experiences in online focus groups. The goal is to improve how CAMHS referrals work, so future families get help more easily.
