Children and young people’s mental health services are a range of support services available to children and young people. They are usually delivered or funded by the NHS.

They will be different depending on where you live but can include:

• Mental health support teams (MHSTs) in schools and colleges
• NHS-funded services from local mental health organisations, such as charities and social enterprises
• NHS services – you may hear these called children and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS)

Services are usually for anyone under 18. You may be able to use some services up to the age of 25.
