Sandwell

We offer help to young people with complex, severe or enduring emotional and mental health problems. We support young people who are aged between 5-18 years of age and who are registered with a Sandwell GP.

At present, young people are referred into our service by a professional who knows what CAMHS offers, and knows the young person.

We accept referrals from these types of professionals:

• GPs
• Social Workers
• Health Visitors
• School Professionals
• Paediatricians / Hospital Doctors
• Paediatric Occupational Therapists
• Specialist Nurses
• School Nurses

The most common way of getting support in CAMHS is by visiting your GP and discussing a CAMHS referral with them.  If you have any questions about this, or you are a referrer considering referring a young person, you are welcome to talk to our Single Point of Access (SPA) team for emotional and mental health on (0121) 612 6620.  Unfortunately, we don’t accept self-referrals from young people or families, but we are working on this!
