Children and young people's mental health services (CYPMHS)
Who are we and what do we do?
We are an NHS service for children and young people under 18 and their families. You may also see or hear the term child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) used. This is an older term for NHS specialist children’s mental health services. Children and young people’s mental health services are split into many teams and provide different offers you may benefit from.
How do we support children and young people?
The first step is seeking support alongside your education setting via the MindMate Support Teams.
Already accessed support from the MindMate Support team? Then head to our CYPMHS pages to find out about teams who offer the next level of support.
Leeds CYPMHS crisis call line is available to all children and young people living in Leeds who are concerned about keeping themselves safe. The call line is also available to parents, carers and professionals who are concerned about a child or young person.
You can contact the call line about yourself, a child or young person whether they are accessing our other services or not.
