Association of Child Psychotherapists - research for upcoming Treat them Right campaign

Many thanks for taking part in this research
 
Recent changes in funding, training and commissioning around children’s mental health mean many CAMHS teams are finding themselves struggling to provide the longer term, comprehensive support that many children and young people desperately need, particularly those with more complex mental health problems.

The purpose of this survey is to gauge the importance of access to and support from Association of Child Psychotherapists (ACP) registered child and adolescent psychotherapists for those working in CAMHS teams, for part of a wider campaign being carried out by the ACP called 'Treat them right'.

Treat them right

The Association of Child Psychotherapists is campaigning for all CAMHS services and other mental health professionals to have access to a range of therapeutic treatments including those provided by ACP registered child and adolescent psychotherapists, so every child and adolescent can benefit from their skills, expertise and experience as part of a truly comprehensive system of support.
