What is CAMHS Talk?

CAMHS Talk is hosted by the Luton and Bedfordshire Service User Participation Group in partnership with the Luton & Bedford Child and Adolescent Mental Health Team (CAMHS). This is one of the first podcast of its kind in the UK and we’re coming together to discuss, debate and challenge issues around child and adolescent mental health. This is a fabulous opportunity for you to come and listen to staff interviews, hear lively discussions between professionals, service users and their families and get first-hand information about what it’s like to come to CAMHS. We’ll also let you know about new service developments and give you a heads up on any events we’re running.
