CAMHS provides support for children and young people across Nottingham City.

We work with children and young people from the age of 0-18 years, their families and carers and professionals working with you. The young people we work with may be experiencing emotional and mental health problems. We will support you in a base near you, or wherever you feel comfortable, such as; schools, health centres, community and youth centres, GP surgeries.
