Once the assessment has taken place and a treatment plan has been agreed, you will be placed onto the appropriate pathway. Once a slot opens up, a therapist will be in touch to book in your first treatment appointment.
This could include any of the below:
- Programmes with parents and carers
- Therapeutic work with families
- Programmes/groups for children and young people
- Individual therapy sessions with children and young people
- Transfer to the Adult Team within the Lifecycle Service
Sessions with your mental health worker are usually weekly and last between 30-50 minutes. You will receive treatment that is based on research and evidence - interventions we know work!
During treatment we may assess that other services, such as the Children & Young Peoples Service (CYPS) may meet your needs better. We would always discuss this with you, and we can make any appropriate referrals or signpost you to these services.
