The Team
Lambeth CAMHS - River Team - is a tier 3 CAMHS team comprising of a range of skilled practitioners who assess and treat a wide variety of mental health disorders being acute, complex, chronic and/or enduring. These include schizophrenia, depression, eating disorders, deliberate self-harm, psychosis, ADHD, OCD, anxiety, gender disorders, conduct disorders, PTSD and substance misuse.
The team is a multidisciplinary team including psychiatry, psychotherapy, psychology, nursing, occupational therapists, art psychotherapists, CBT therapists, social workers and family therapists supported by a business manager and a number of administrators based on site.
We see the majority of the children and young people at our main team base, however, we do have facilities to see people in a local GP surgery and within schools and other statutory services as well as in their homes.
Other teams in the Borough CAMHS work out of a separate building in Brixton, allowing for the base at Black Prince Road to focus on the families presenting to a Tier 3 CAMHS.
