Family Ambassadors

Family ambassadors are here to support parents or carers of young people on our inpatient CAMHS units.

They are non-clinical professionals with lived experience of inpatient services, who can work with you and the clinical teams and help you navigate the inpatient journey.

They will support you from the point of admission until shortly after discharge, in a way which is flexible and suits your needs.

As a parent or carer, you have a unique perspective on the care needs of your child or young person. We will ensure your voice is heard and that you feel empowered to become an equal partner in your child or young person’s care.
