HPFT's Children and Young People’s Mental Health Service (CYPMHS)
HPFT's Children and Young People’s Mental Health Service (CYPMHS – formerly known as CAMHS) has been at the forefront of national developments in CYPMHS, including CAPA and CYP-IAPT, and Hertfordshire is an i-Thrive accelerator service. The HPFT CYPMH service includes four community based ‘tier 3’ teams, a crisis assessment/treatment team (C-CATT), a DBT service, an Eating Disorder Team, an inpatient unit (Forest House) and a Targeted Team for looked after children. We offer a range of psychological therapies across these teams. We have close links with other agencies including the local ‘tier 2’ CYPM service, school link workers, Mental Health Support Teams, and children's social services.
As a service, we are keen to promote continuing professional development (CPD) and research opportunities. We offer placements to trainees within all psychological therapies and have strong links with local training courses. We value clinical supervision, both peer group and individual. We are an innovative and dynamic service, working as a multi-disciplinary team to address new challenges, and we are looking for an enthusiastic Systemic Psychotherapist to join us in going forward.
