Lavender Walk CAMHS is a CNWL NHS inpatient care team providing mental and emotional health services to young people aged 13 up to their 18th birthday their families and carers.

We are a team of specialist clinicians, therapists and nurses. We provide specialist services to those who are experiencing and need help with thoughts feelings, difficult experiences, emotional, relationship and behavioural difficulties in family life, school or the wider world. These include bullying, eating difficulties, family issues, anger, sadness, worry, finding it hard to concentrate or sit still, trouble with friends, unusual thoughts and more.

Young people may be admitted under difficult circumstances and we appreciate that this can be a challenging time for everyone involved. We will support everyone through this transition by providing as much information before and during the young person’s treatment with us.

Every young person’s journey is different; we offer a day programme and inpatient care for 5 -7 days a week including weekends.

Young people take part in a variety of therapeutic activities and attend school here at Lavender Walk. Parents attend family therapy sessions and can access a number of support groups.

Working in partnership with children, families and community based professionals is at the centre of what we do. We recognise parents have to balance helping their children as well as other life/work commitments; we do our best to work with families to book meetings and sessions at appropriate times.

We want young people to have a good experience here at Lavender Walk, so we will help to ensure everyone feels supported and can take positive steps forward.
