Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) is a free specialist service for children and adolescents with serious emotional, behavioural or mental health difficulties.
CAMHS services across Ireland are run by the HSE.
The service caters for young people up to 16-years-old, although some CAMHS services extend to 18 years-old for young people in full-time education.
You need to be referred to CAMHS by a health professional who is familiar with you. This will usually be your family GP.
