Who we are
Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Hampshire Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), provides a wide range of mental health, physical health and learning disability services for people across Hampshire.
Our mental health services provide care and treatment for people with conditions such as psychosis, depression, anxiety, dementia and personality disorder. Our specialist learning disability services provide community and inpatient care for people with complex health needs which can’t be met by other services. We have a number of services that provide very specialist care for people with complex health conditions and social care needs.
We provide care in hospitals, people’s homes, in specialist clinics, GP surgeries as well as specialist inpatient units. Our services cover children, young people and adults of all ages and we work with partners across the NHS and local authorities.
Our values are people first, partnership and respect
