What is Fresh+ Forum?

We are parents/carers of children attending Fresh CAMHS or Sefton CAMHS at the moment or who have done in the past.  We have gone through some of the experiences that you will be going through right now.  There have been very difficult times when we’ve not known what to do for the best.  It can be such a challenging time for us as parents/carers, and just to meet another person who understands something about what we’re going through can be so helpful, and we can see that we’re not alone. 

We want to invite you to a drop-in support group for parents/carers. You can attend as many or as few times as you want. This group is for parents/carers only so your child should not attend with you. It’s very informal; come to as much or as little of the session as you feel, you don’t have to attend the whole session. There is no pressure to talk and feel free to bring other adult family members. There will be a CAMHS clinician present but they will be unable to give direct advice about your child. The Fresh+ Forum is a safe, supportive and confidential space for you to talk.

Fresh CAMHS & Sefton CAMHS are committed to having parent/carer voices driving change in the service that they provide. We welcome your thoughts and contributions on how to develop and improve the service families receive.

Can I Come Along?

Sure! If your child is on the Fresh CAMHS waiting list, or is accessing the service (or ever has) then feel free to drop in...no need to book...you don't even have to come at the start or stay 'til the end!
