Crynodeb
It is acknowledged that a transition from child to adult services creates risks for young people who may fall through the systems due to not having the right support. This can result in poor mental health and social outcomes, leading to loss of human potential and increased burden on health and social care services over a lifespan.
The aim of the CAMHS Transition post is to support the successful transition of 17-25 years old young people into appropriate mental health services and to enhance the social and mental health outcomes of young people experiencing difficulties as they grow into adulthood.
The provision of services will be based upon a belief in the crucial importance of a successful transition for young people to adult mental health services or other services. Appropriate services will treat their mental health services and also be responsive to their wider social and emotional needs.
The post will directly inform and update Transition Protocol between CAMHS and AMHS based upon the latest evidence of best practice.
An additional role is to assess and manage those young people waiting for treatment in the Tier 3 team. The post holder is responsible to manage this caseload and to support overseeing referrals into and the waiting list of the team, as well as ensuring timely referrals and support with transitioning into AMHS.
