The symptoms of ADHD in children and teenagers are well defined, and they're usually noticeable before the age of six. They occur in more than one situation, such as at home and at school. Inattentiveness

We support children, young people, parents, carers and other professionals such as teachers to identify and prevent mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. Once a referral is received it is triaged by a multi-disciplinary team of nurses and child health advisors, and then sent on to the correct service. TheOne Stop clinical team will triage the referral and make this decision – so the child gets to the right service, first time. It may be useful to have a brief period of "watchful waiting"to see if your child's symptoms improve, stay the same or get worse.

It’s not all talking though - there are practical things like drawing or making things. Groups for female carersWe are asking professionals to support children, young people and families to use readily available intervention resources before making a routine referral to us through the Access and Advice service.

Services are more accessible and user friendly through more convenient locations and online services

The service looks and feels different for families, children and young people receiving the service and for referral agencies, not only because of the additional investment in existing and new services, but also because:

The new service offers better advice and signposting for children, young people, parents and school staff, 1-1 support and group work for children, young people and parents (both within school and out of school settings).
