Welcome to CAMHS

Welcome to CAMHS in Northamptonshire. CAMHS stands for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.

CAMHS is here to support children and young people up to the age of 18 in Northamptonshire, experiencing difficulties with their emotional wellbeing and mental health difficulties.  The team offers a range of interventions and therapies delivered individually or in groups, in partnership with families in a number of localities.
