A group of young people aged 14-20, including those with past experience of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), came together to create a series of social media style reels to help demystify the CAMHS experience and reduce stigma around seeking support.

Filmed at Warwick CAMHS and Swan CAMHS, the reels were designed to feel authentic, inclusive and relatable.

The content aims to answer common questions, reflect real environments, and help young people feel informed and reduce anxiety around attending appointments.

There are 3 short videos in the series:

• Come with me to my CAMHS appointment – Join Isla as she shows you what it is like to go to a CAMHS appointment.

• Tiny mic, big question - CAMHS staff share what they want you to know about coming to CAMHS.

• The real deal about CAMHS – young people share their past experiences with CAMHS.

• The real deal: thoughts before attending CAMHS – we asked young people about their thoughts before accessing CAMHS.

• The real deal: thoughts during CAMHS – we asked young people about their experiences accessing CAMHS. 

• The real deal: thoughts after attending CAMHS – we asked young people about their thoughts after accessing CAMHS.
