Your child's mental health

If you feel like your child has been feeling unhappy or low for a long period of time, or you have serious concerns, it might be helpful to seek support from a professional.

They aren't just there for your physical health – they also have experience in helping people with their mental health and can refer your child to children and young people’s mental health services (CYPMHS).

If you don't have a GP, find a GP near you.

Bucks CAMHS are a specialist mental health service for children and young people provided by the NHS.

You can refer yourself or someone you care for using their online referral form.

If you express your concerns to a teacher, they might be able to tell you if they’ve noticed any changes in your child’s behaviour. They could also help refer your child to the school counsellor or mental health support team.
