Avoiding Admissions – The Together Workshops

The redesign of CAMHS services for children and adolescents aged 0-19
NHS funded providers of young people’s emotional health and wellbeing services across Lancashire and South Cumbria are continuing to work together to redesign services for children and adolescents aged 0-19 in line with the THRIVE conceptual model, and in response to a commissioning mandate to develop sustainable and standardised care.
AMBIT training now available from our own trained instructors
33 front line practitioners have now been trained as AMBIT instructors across Lancashire and South Cumbria. The five day instructor training was provided by the Anna Freud Centre and every practitioner trained has committed to provide four training sessions for other frontline staff during the year.
Evaluation Panel Opportunities
As the CAMHS redesign progresses we are starting to arrange panels to evaluate the proposed changes as a result of the redesign. We are in early stages of planning but want to share the opportunity for people to be involved. We are keen for children and young people to evaluate the proposed changes and have their say, so any child or young person can get involved, whether they have used CAMHS services or not. We will also be recruiting for panel members on the carers and family members’ panel as well as third sector and faith members.
Lancashire Emotional Health Support in Schools
