We work with children and young people with emotional and mental health needs that cannot be met by staff within universal settings such as schools and children’s centres. We can work with concerns such as: Anxiety, trauma, emotional distress, low mood, self-harm. TaMHS it is part of the Integrated Locality Service for Children and Young People, aged between 0 – 18 years and their families. The team includes Clinical Practitioners and Outreach workers who are skilled in working with mental health. All referrals in to our service are screened and may then be offered an assessment or a referral/ signposting to another service who may be better able to meet the needs of your family or child. We may see the children, young people and families for an assessment, we may talk to the schools or other agencies involved. We may offer short term support ourselves on a one to one or group basis. We can offer consultations and advice to families and schools or other agencies. We also offer parents support via our Family Links programme and Talking Teens programme.
