A Survey of Transitions of Young People From Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) to Adult Mental Health Services (AMHS)

[摘要] Aims To evaluate current transition service provision from CAMHS to AMHS focusing on information sharing, transition planning and continuity of care. Many young people find service transition from CAMHS to AMHS stressful, sometimes because of there being multiple simultaneous transitions from child centred services to adult oriented models of care. If not handled well, this can lead to drop out from services, repeated assessments, suboptimal treatment and support, and raised likelihood of emergency psychiatric admissions. Longitudinal planning and sensitive management of transition is vital, because of transition being a risk period for young people.
