Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) - Springfield Hospital

This is a multi-disciplinary service providing a specialised service for children and young people with severe, complex and persistent mental health disorders. It provides a comprehensive (Tier 3*) assessment and treatment service.

This service is for children and young people up to the age of 18 registered with a Wandsworth GP, their families and/or carers across the borough, focusing on those with severe and enduring mental health problems.

If you want a referral to CAMHS, you need to contact the ACCESS Child and Youth Mental Health Service who are the single point of referral, providing access to help for children and young people in Wandsworth up to the age of 18 years, who may have mental health needs.
