Description

Locality Team in Children & Young Peoples Mental Health Services (CYPMHS) The aim of our new CYPMHS is to respond earlier to children and young peoples needs in order to help prevent, reduce or delay the need for more specialist interventions.

This transformation of children and young peoples mental health services has a clinical focus, integrated with local authorities to deliver a long term collaborative approach to planning and delivering services.

CYPMHS focuses on emotional wellbeing as well as mental health and includes access to self-help tools and services based in schools and the community.

The CAMHS Tier II and Tier III service no longer exist, replaced with an integrated CYPMHS.

Training and support is available to other professionals and agencies. We are creating a modern service that fits with childrens lives in a way that best suits them.

Key new features include a Childrens Single Point of Access (SPA) into the service, clear early signposting, and use of digital channels such as Big White Wall to access support and services.

Each locality team have care pathways.

Each care pathway is clinically led, with care pathway leads operationally managing all CYPMHS practitioners working in that care pathway.

With the support of the team manager, care pathway leads are responsible for assessment, treatment and systematic outcome measurement in that care pathway.

CYPMHS Multi-Disciplinary Pathway Workers and Mental Health Workers may work across more than one care pathway in a locality team.

Care pathways include; Mood and Anxiety Complex andBehaviour and Conduct Neurodevelopmental & Learning Disability Care pathway leads and practitioners ensure that a high quality, timely, accessible and evidence-based service is available to all children and young people who need it.

Internal applicants are exempt from the probationary period (unless you are an internal applicant currently part way through a probationary period or currently a bank member of staff).

Structure of Children & Young Peoples Mental Health Services (CYPMHS) There is one Childrens Single Point of Access (SPA), a Neurodevelopmental & Learning Disabilities Service, six Locality Teams and a Crisis Team.

These are located across North Kent (Dartford), West Kent (Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells), South Kent (Folkestone & Dover), East Kent (Thanet), Swale, Ashford and Canterbury and Coastal.
