Service Detail

The Southwark Children and Young People Wellbeing Practitioners (CWP) Team provides a mental health service to young people who may not meet the threshold for Croydon Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS).

The team provides short-term, low intensity, evidence-based, guided self-help interventions for children, young people and their parents or carers. We see children and young people that are experiencing mild to moderate anxiety, low mood, or mild behavioural difficulties.

Young people and their parents or carers will be offered up to eight sessions of guided self-help which will involve of a mixture of face to face and phone, or Skype appointments. Sometimes we may ask parents or carers to attend on their own depending on the age of the young person.
