Our service is here to work with children, young people and their families who are experiencing emotional wellbeing and mental health difficulties.  Our teams are made up of several different professions who are able to work with children and young people up to the age of 18, working as part of a wider network of services that offer help and support to children and young people who have mental health difficulties and their families/carers. Our staff are highly trained in a range of different assessment techniques and evidence based therapies and in partnership with  other agencies we offer services tailored to the needs of the children, young people and families who use our service.  Visit the Doncaster CAMHS website
