Children’S Views

Objective: This pilot study explored children's perspectives of an initial assessment at outpatient child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS). Method: A semi-structured qualitative interview was undertaken with nine children aged 7–12 years. Transcribed interviews were analyzed to reveal common themes. Results: Children generally coped well with the interview. They identified themes involving stigma, qualities and approaches of staff, aspects of the CAMHS environment, and anxiety about attending CAMHS as key issues. Conclusions: This pilot study suggests that it is feasible to interview children regarding their perspectives on attending a CAMHS. Children's views of CAMHS are required to help inform developmentally appropriate service delivery.
