Survey: Experiences of CAMHS
We want to make sure that people’s stories of receiving or requesting support from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services are heard.
Have you been through CAMHS or supported a young person to do so? Are there things you want to share about your experience – things you’d change, things that were hard, or that worked well?
Platfform knows that sharing stories in a safe way can be part of healing. People often feel more powerless in systems where they cannot share their experiences, or be heard.
We want to share real stories. Tell us yours here – help us inform public perceptions and influence change.
By reading your story, and sharing it with others (if you would like us to), we hope to show what actions could be taken to improve mental health systems. Please note we are only considering policy change in the context of Wales at this time.
If you are aged 18 or above, we would like to hear from you about your experience of the mental health system in Wales.
