Improving links between CAMHS and primary care.
Only a small percentage of children and young people with mental health problems reach child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) (Young Minds 2003). Government policy, voluntary organisation reports and research all support the need for improved links and open communication between health services in order to address the mental health needs of children and young people.
