My daughter was referred into the children’s mental health service at the beginning of this year 2025. Due to her having ASD and ADHD, her mental health struggles have continued on and off over the last 8 months. Due to unmet needs she hasn’t been in school for the last 6 months and suffered ongoing mental health issues. We have been incredibly lucky to be supported by Paula who has offered support reassurance and someone who listens to my daughter.
She has a very friendly, kind but professional approach and quickly identified it would take my daughter longer to open up but this wasn’t a problem at all and Paula arrange another time to meet us. Since our first meet with Paula she has been there for us day and night for several months and I don’t know where we would be now without her.
We’ve spoken to several members of the crisis team and while all have been incredibly lovely and supportive non of them have understood my daughter like Paula. Paula also asked Fran to help with my daughter’s case due to us needing extra support and also needing support with getting her into a specialist provision. Fran has spoken to and met my daughter several times and again showed patience care and was also incredibly professional.
I would like to say a huge Thank You to all at CAMHS crisis team but mainly to Paula and Fran. The work you do is absolutely outstanding. We will always be so grateful for everything you’ve done
