The Croydon CAMHS Getting Help Team provides a safe, effective,
responsive service where staff involve and treat children, young people
and their families with compassion, kindness, dignity and respect.
Our service is for children, young people and their families that have
had an initial assessment with the
Getting Advice Team
and require further help.
During the assessment with the Getting Advice Team, the care pathway
and treatment plan will be agreed with the family and recorded. If we
feel that further help is needed after assessment, we will add the young
person to the treatment waiting list for the Getting Help Team.
Treatment with us ranges from short to long term, and may involve face
to face sessions, and indirect work with the parent, carer or
professional from another agency. We may also refer you to another
agency, specialist service, help you with access to another CAMHS
service, or mental health promotion and mental health education service
if needed.
We will always keep young person, their family, GP and the referrer
informed of the outcome of the assessment, treatment and care plan. A
closing summary will also be sent to all parties at the end of the spell
of care.

goals so that we can develop a useful care plan to achieve them.

treatment over a longer period of time, and those that may need two or
more different types of treatment at the same time. This might be a
combination of individual therapy, family therapy, or medication.

The Croydon CAMHS Learning Disability Team is a specialist team that
works with children and young people, up to the age of 18 years, who
have a learning disability. We also work provide support to their
parents or carers.
We are passionate about supporting young people with a learning
disability, and their families, whilst considering their special needs.
The Croydon CAMHS Learning Disability Team provides support for families
in the following ways:
1. We support children and young people with mild, moderate and severe
learning disabilities without significant mental health problems who
present with behaviours that may be challenging. Our team provides
psychoeducation through personalised therapeutic interventions, parent
groups, workshops, work within schools, and where appropriate, direct
work with children, using adapted Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
2. We provide assessment and treatment of severe and enduring mental
health problems for children and young people with a moderate, severe or
profound learning disability. This may involve the use of psychological
therapies, or medication. The Learning Disabilities Team works closely
with parents and carers, schools, social care and paediatricians to
coordinate a multi-agency approach, which aims to promote better mental
health and improve future outcomes for children and young people.
What to expect
This will depend on the how complex the presenting problem is. In some
cases, parents or carers may be offered a place on one of our groups or
workshops. When there are more complex mental health problems, we will
conduct a clinical assessment of the child or young person.
We may also ask parents and professionals to complete questionnaires
as well as conduct meetings with parents or carers, family members,
schoolteachers and professionals associated with the young person's
care.
This evidence gathering helps us understand the young person's
difficulties and their unique needs. We will work with families and
other professionals to develop a care plan that will best support the
child or young person and their family.
We will seek consent from young people and their families to contact
all professionals involved in their care before starting work with the
family, except in extraordinary circumstances. An example of this may be
when it is necessary to intervene quickly in order to protect the child,
young person or family safe.
Referrals
All referrals must be made by a professional associated with the
child's care via the Croydon Single Point of Contact (SPOC) webpage
.
Referrals can be made by a GP, paediatrician, school teacher, or
social worker. Our team is unable to accept referrals from parents,
carers, or self-referrals by the child or young person.
When completing referrals, please make it clear that the young person
has a learning disability, rather than a learning difficulty, in the
referral along with any available evidence. Examples of appropriate
evidence may be previous reports or assessments by other health or
social care professionals. Please also ensure to state any other
relevant diagnoses and details of the child's current school.
We run several workshops and courses. For more information about our
groups and workshops, professionals associated with the child's care
should email LDTeam@slam.nhs.uk
