Junction 17
Junction 17 (J17) is a specialist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) for young people aged 13 - 17 who require assessment and treatment for a range of complex mental health difficulties. The team at J17 provide a range of services within our double award winning state-of-the-art inpatient unit, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As well as inpatient services, J17 operates a day service for young people with mental health needs.
Our team of CAMHS trained mental health professionals work with young people who are experiencing mental health difficulties such as psychosis, eating disorders and anxiety/depression.
The focus is on helping the young person understand their mental health issues, and build coping skills, through a range of therapeutic interventions. The ultimate goal of the team at J17 is to help the young person to recover from their mental health issues sufficiently to be able to go back to their life, building their confidence and supporting the young person and their families/carers.
Access to J17 is considered after a Mental Health Act Assessment and suitability assessment conducted by Greater Manchester assessment and inreach centre (GMAIC).
