If you’re worried about your child, you'll need to speak to a professional to ask them to make a referral to us.
People who can refer a child or young person to us are those who work in:
Health – GPs, school nurses, paediatricians
Social care – social workers, ASSIST workers
Education – educational psychologists, special educational needs coordinators (SENCOs)
Youth justice – police, youth offending team
Youth workers – targeted youth teams such as Connexions.
You can now refer young people to the CAMHS service online.
It’s essential that you complete the form below with as much detail as possible, and that the person with parental responsibility consents to the referral unless there are exceptional circumstances.
A duty worker is available weekdays between 9am and 5pm to discuss potential referrals:
Consultation rather than direct assessment or intervention for cases can be provided where a mental health perspective will complement work already in progress, or where there's professional anxiety or uncertainty as to whether referral to specialist CAMHS is appropriate.
Eating disorders
Eating disorders are covered by a single team based in Ealing. We offer assessment and treatment to young people under 18 years who're registered with a GP in the boroughs of Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, and Hounslow, and who have anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. We also accept self-referrals directly to CAMHS.
If you wish to discuss a referral, please call us on 020 8354 8160.
