You (your carer) can now self refer to access SET-CAMHS services by completing the form https://apps.nelft.nhs.uk/SETCAMHS
Single Point of Access (SPA) referrals will as usual be screened, triaged and reviewed by mental health practitioners. This online form is designed so that any person can request support and advice when concerned about mental health. The parent/young person must be aware of the completion of this form and consent to this.
When needed SPA mental health practitioners will contact the child/young person/family or carer to gather additional information which will then clarify next steps. Based on the available information and the SPA knowledge of support and resources available within Southend, Essex and Thurrock, a decision can be made to identify appropriate responses to meet individual need.
We welcome all referrals from children and young people.
