CAMH
Fenland Cambridgeshire

Using games and interactive exercises we were able to get the young people to really explore how they felt about the service they get and how it could be improved for young people in the future. We ran a 5 hour day including lunch for a group of young people from Cambridgeshire who had at some point accessed CAMH Fenland.

We were asked to find out :

- What do young people know about the service that CAMH provide?
- What do young people think of services provided?
- What do young people think of the actual CAMH building?
- What are the timescales for responses like when a young person is referred?
- Do young people feel involved with decision making?
- What would they like to be involved with in the future?
- How do young people learn about CAMH?

The session was planned and delivered in partnership with two young trainers from Cambridgeshire.

Some comments from young people who took part:
