CAMHS Talk

Let's rejoin the conversation and continue to hear about the SWITCH Program where  Dawn Bere, Post 16 Personal Adviser & Enhanced Evidence-Based Practitioner and Christopher Allan – Early Help Professional at Bedford Borough talk with two of their service users, Georgia and Stephen about  ‘The Forgotten Population’ – young people who are not in education, employment or training (or NEET for short). Georgia and Stephen give very frank accounts of how they were supported by Dawn and Christopher’s team within the SWITCH project – a project designed to provide targeted support to NEET young people.

The risks associated with being a NEET young person is significant in terms of developing mental health difficulties and falling by the wayside in society with increased risk of getting into crime, drugs and gang violence. Come listen to the work that is happening in Bedford.

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.
