Advice Clinics with CAMHS 

3 a month during term time

​

We offer short, private advice appointments for parents and carers who are concerned about their child’s mental health.  These clinics are delivered in partnership with Southampton Specialist CAMHS, and are also open to all Re:Minds members for general advice and support.

You can book a 10 minute virtual session with an experienced CAMHS clinician to talk through any concerns you may have about your child’s behaviour, attention, anxiety, or day to day challenges at home or school.

These sessions provide practical advice and guidance to help you better understand and support your child.

This service is for families where the main concern is their child’s mental health, including where ADHD or autism may also be a factor.
