Complex Behaviour Support Team (CBST) Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS)
Service
We are a specialist CAMHS in West Sussex for young people (aged 4 to 18) with additional needs and behaviours which present a challenge to their families, carers and education teams. We work together with children and their families in community settings, such as school, home and in clinic.
To access the team, the child must have a named social worker within one of the West Sussex Child Disability Social Work Teams.
We offer consultations, direct case work and parent/carer groups:
What we do:
- Consultations are used to explore the young person’s difficulties and work out how to support them and their family. We aim to come to a shared understanding of the difficulties with recommendations to help the situation to move forward.
- Case work is offered to young people who have behaviours which are complex and challenging in a range of settings. We can work more intensively with a young person across these settings to address the difficulties the young person is experiencing.
- We are able to offer a variety of groups to parents and carers, which include: understanding autism and positive behaviour support.
- Examples of emotional and behavioural difficulties we can help : anxiety, low mood, disruptive behaviours, communication difficulties, managing change & transitions, anger & aggression, inappropriate sexual behaviour, self-harm and complex sleep problems.
- Reception: 01273 467930 Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm). If you are concerned about a child or young person outside of these hours, please call: Social Services Emergency out of hours: 0330 222 6664 Mental Health Helpline: 0300 5000 101
