This presentation explores what happens when children, parents, and teachers give different answers about a young person’s mental health. Drawing on data from over 10,000 service users at a major London CAMHS provider, it looks at what predicts these differences and whether they affect attendance at mental health services.
The talk offers practical insights for clinicians working with complex family dynamics and assessment data.
This will be of interest to those working with children and those working in mental health and will count towards your CPD.
We’re pleased to invite you to a virtual event where you can meet the SWU staff team.
