A mental health crisis explained
A mental health crisis means different things to different people.
You may feel like your mental health has been getting worse over time
or that something has happened to make you feel this way.
You may have a good idea of what's caused you to feel this way or not
at all. It can be overwhelming and you may feel unable to cope.
You might feel so distressed that you want to harm yourself or someone
else. You might hear unpleasant voices, or feel that people are watching
you or trying to hurt you.
Regardless of your situation, it could help to tell someone you trust
or ask for support. We are here to help.
How we can help you
Being in A&E can be a difficult experience so we want to help you
feel comfortable and safe while you wait to see someone from the Crisis Team.
What an assessment means
We talk to you about any difficulties you may be having and what led
you to come to A&E.
We will often talk to your family as well and sometimes may talk to
anyone else you would feel helpful. This may include your school and
your GP (family doctor).
Sometimes we will refer people to the main CAMHS team, another
service, or their GP so they can continue to receive help for a longer time.
Our team members
Our service is made up of a number of professionals from different
backgrounds who work together to provide multi-disciplinary care. This
may include psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, clinical specialists,
systemic family therapists, CAMHS practitioners, assistant
psychologists, trainees and administrators.
