Experiences of using CAMHS services in Derbyshire

In response to a request by the Derbyshire Health and Wellbeing Board we carried out a repeat of an engagement activity we did in 2015 to collect the experiences of those using Child and Adolescent Mental Health services in the County.

Many of the findings and recommendations in the 2015 report were taken forward by the Futures in Mind Programme, which sets out a vision for children and young people’s mental health in Derbyshire.

This report includes further feedback, some way into the delivery of the Futures in Mind Programme, from children, young people and their parents/carers about using CAMHS services.  These findings have been responded to by those responsible for those running, and commissioning, CAMHS in Derbyshire.
