Minding the Gap – Camden Transitions Team

The service provides a fortnightly meeting where complex transitions cases from CAMHS and other young people services are discussed, a management plan is developed and, when required, a referral into the relevant specialist team is supported and followed-up.

The service has transition champion clinicians based in IAPT and Personality Disorder Services. The clinicians champion the needs of young people in the service, create a more accessible and young-person friendly model of service delivery and offer outreach to improve engagement with services.
