Examining access to mental health services for social work-experienced young people
24 Oct 2024, 12:00 – 13:00
Many children and young people with social work involvement (CYPwSW) experience mental health difficulties. Yet, little is known about factors affecting their access to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS).
This seminar will present findings from the “CAMHS Referrals and Outcomes for Adolescents and Children with Social Workers” (COACHES) study. It will cover:
- Potential inequalities exposed by the data
- Strengths and limitations of using administrative data
- Involvement of experts-by-experience, practitioners and policymakers throughout the study.
This in-person event will be particularly useful for social scientists, health scientists, and mental health professionals.
