Parent and Carer's area
Children can have a variety of different emotional and behavioural problems. Some of these will be short-lived, and others will be disorders that will need treatment. If a problem is easy to sort out, then most parents will be able to do this themselves.
Sometimes, a problem needs more than that, but it is not always easy to ask for help.
Going to see any health professional about a child’s emotional or behavioural difficulties can be a very daunting experience for a lot of parents and carers. Parents often feel anxious and worried.
Our CYPS team is here to work with you, in partnership, to help sort out the difficulties.
Our aim is to help your child to understand common mental health conditions and allow them to make choices that will affect their own mental and physical wellbeing. It is also about understanding that the way we feel, whether we are happy or sad is all part of our emotional wellbeing and mental health.
We currently only accept referrals to our service from practitioners working with children, young people and their families/carer's. We do not accept self referrals at this time.
If you are concerned about your child's emotional wellbeing then make an appointment with your GP to discuss your concerns.
