About NELFT's SET CAMHS
NELFT's SET CAMHS is for anybody aged between 0-18, living in the Southend, Essex and Thurrock areas and is free at the point of entry.
Any young person experiencing emotional wellbeing or mental health problems.
Structure of NELFT's SET CAMHS
There are: a Children's Single Point of Access (CSPA), seven Locality Teams, an Intensive Support Services and a specialist Eating Disorders Team. These are located across Southend, Essex and Thurrock.
What difficulties can be referred to the service?

Locality Teams in SET CAMHS:
The aim of our SET CAMHS is to respond earlier to children and young people's needs in order to help prevent, reduce or delay the need for more specialist interventions. This transformation of children and young people's mental health services has a clinical focus, integrated with local authorities to deliver a long term collaborative approach to planning and delivering services.
SET CAMHS focuses on the mental health and includes access to self-help tools and services based in schools and the community. We are creating a modern service that fits with children's lives in a way that best suits them. Key new features include a Children's Single Point of Access (CSPA) into the service, clear early signposting, and use of digital channels. We are working collaboratively with HCRG (formerly Virgin care) when offering the 'Getting Help' aspect of the Thrive Model.
The service is driven by the principles underpinning the national CYP-IAPT programme (Children and Young People's Improving Access to Psychological Therapies); evidence based interventions, routine measurement of outcomes, access to high quality training and supervision for professionals and true co-production with children and young people.
Clinicians have to ensure that a high quality, timely, accessible and evidence-based service is available to all children and young people who need it. This means establishing and maintaining excellent working relationships with wider social, health and voluntary services.
Working in our EWMHS locality teams is for you if you are excited by a modern approach. We would very much like to hear from you.
