Children and young people

The Child and Family service in West Suffolk is a secondary mental health service. The team supports children (0 to 14 years of age) and their families in West Suffolk. This is where the child has a significant drop in their functioning and where there is evidence of a mental health issue. Our team obtains information from all professionals involved in the care of the young people. This enables us to offer the best care and interventions. We provide direct and non-direct interventions to ensure tailored packages of care are available to the young person.
