About the Parents/Carers & Service Users’ Group

The Parents/Carers & Service Users’ Group is a meeting of parents/carers, service users and health professionals, all with experience of caring for a child or young person who has or has had a mental health problem. The Group meets monthly and discusses issues and ideas on how to improve the Child & Adolescent Mental Health Service. The Group has been involved in putting into action many new ways to enhance the services offered to children and their families.

If you are a parent/carer or a service user who has had experience in managing a young person who has or has had a mental health problem and you are interested in joining our group. Please email us at camhs.users@dhft.nhs.uk.
