Children and adolescent mental health service

Child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) are provided for people under the age of 18 who require specialist support. We provide services for young people and their families throughout England across two sites: the St Aubyn Centre, Colchester and Poplar Adolescent Unit, Rochford Hospital.

At both locations, we have a team of highly qualified mental health professionals who provide assessments, treatments, educational resources and short-term rehabilitation for young people.

Based on our expert assessments and in partnership with the young person and their family / carers, we provide each young person with an individual package of treatment and support, tailored to their assessed needs and this is reviewed regularly.
