What does the social worker bring? Considerations of complex mental health work with children

What Does the Social Worker Bring? Considerations of complex mental health work with Children and Young People. The session, arranged for Mental Health Week 2024, celebrates and reflects on the work of CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) social work. It explores the value and identity of social work in those services and will also explore the specific complexities in assessing children and young people under the Mental Health Act. The session features presentations from Annabel Smith, who is the Professional Lead for Social Care in a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service, and Sarah Redmond, and Approved Mental Health Professional in an Emergency Duty Service. We also hear from Carole Baxter and Goska Saklak, as well as a young person with lived experience.
