CAMHS

Hi,

 

I was just wondering who else out there has had negative experiences with CAMHS. eg told our parenting skills aren't up to scratch or we are over exaggerating?

 

Or even if there are lucky people who have had a good service.

 

I've been told by my GP that CAMHS are the only service who can help my 14yr old son but I have found them to be hopeless.

 

I'd be interested to hear other peoples experiences.

  • Hi I would like to to let you know that you are not alone in your dealings with CAMHS. My husband and I literally had to convince them that it wasn't bad parenting and that they had a duty to assess him. Its hard but don't give up they are there to help you and after the hasstle with deciding if its your parenting or not they will get their butts into gear and start assessments. I have a 13 yr old who has recently been diadnosed with autism/aspergers, and once they started assesment things were quicker. If it helps also get your doctor to write to them asking on your brhalf for an official assesment. Hope you get what you need for your daughter. xx
