Milton Keynes Specialist CAMHS provides support to children and young people up to the age of 18, their parents/carers and their families who are resident of Milton Keynes and registered with a Milton Keynes GP and are causing a high level of concern to adults around them due to a significant change in the child/young person's mood and/or behaviour.

CAMHS offers a telephone referral service open to professionals and young people whether known to the service or not. The referral line is available Monday to Friday 9.00am to 5.00pm on 01908 725372.

Urgent referrals are given priority appointments within four weeks and non-urgent referrals are placed on a waiting list. When there are significant concerns about a young person’s welfare e.g. serious self-harm or suicidal intentions you can take the young person to A&E where they will be seen by a member of the CAMHS Liaison and Intensive Support Team ( LIST).
