Gain an outline of the remit of ID CAMHS, including service criteria and the service offer. A key element of the service offer is psychoeducation, including parent/carer workshops. These workshops aim to underpin the clinical intervention provided by supporting parents/carers to have a better understanding of their child’s difficulties, and strategies they can implement to improve the wellbeing of themselves and their children. We will discuss the content covered in two workshops; The ID CAMHS Foundation Course and ASCEND, as well as the method of delivery, and the outcome measures used. We will also discuss the impact of the courses and parental feedback obtained.
Learning objectives:
- To understand the structure and remit of ID CAMHS and the families we work with.
- To understand the rationale and benefits of providing parent/carer training as part of the service offer.
