BDCFT Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMHS)

What does it do?
CAMHS provides a service for children, young people, their families and carers if a child or young person has significant emotional and psychological concerns.

Who is it for?

CAMHS supports children and young people from pre-school years up to 16 years of age, (or up to 18 years of age if still in school) where there are severe and long standing concerns about emotional well-being and behaviours. CAMHS Provides ongoing support groups and parenting programmes

How do I access it?

Referrals to CAMHS are accepted from a variety of health professionals including GPs and hospital doctors (if urgent assessment required) as well as from school nurses and health visitors.

If you think it would help to talk to somebody at CAMHS, you (or your parent or the person who looks after you) will need to speak to someone like your doctor or your school nurse. They will then tell you what you need to do and what happens next.

Where can I see someone from CAMHS?

We have two main sites:

Fieldhead in Bradford. Telephone: 01274 723 241

Address:  Fieldhead House, 2-8 St Martins Avenue, Fieldhead Business Centre, Bradford, BD7 1LG

Hillbrook in Keighley. Telephone: 01535 661 531

Even though our friendly staff are based here, if you need to come to CAMHS you don’t always have to come to these two places. If you would prefer, we can try and arrange to come to you, either at school or at your local health centre for example.

Wherever possible we will aim to meet your communication, access, & information needs as per the accessible information standard. Please inform the team of your, accessibility & / or accessibility to information requirements.
