Child And Adolescent Mental Health Service

Brilliant thanks to awesome doctors, nurses and staff alike

my left toe is more professional than these mfs

Great support service for me and my son.

Where I greatly respect mental health professionals. I unfortunatly have come across one in this service and her supervisor. Who have taken a view reasonable cause or understanding or paitent research or a monicum of intelligence, and dispite my sons rebuttal. When I complained I tried to speak to her supervisor, his first words were I back my staff". His staff can do anything and this supervisor backs them. Child mental health is not a game. People who overstep should not be backed."

If I could give this place 0 starts, I would. I saw them when I was about 11 for treatment and again when I was about 15. When I was 11 they told me that I had nothing wrong with me, and said I was just selfish and lazy. When I was 15 they never listened to me and finally diagnosed me with mild depression after I almost ended my life. Years later I was finally diagnosed with Autism, Anxiety, and Severe Depression (by a completely different Mental Health service in Dunedin)This place never once picked up on the Autism, even though looking back it was extremely clear in my actions. If this place had properly diagnosed me at the time, it would have saved me years of agony. If anything, going here made my mental health worse.Please consider another option before here.

If i could give zero stars i would . This service is absolutely trash !!! My child has had severe mental health issues for quite some time . Family history of multiple suicides & our child Has been suicidal often, police / ambulance callouts etc . camhs are extremely rude, uncaring & basically don’t want to do any work to help put things right for the youth . DON’T place your child in this service . These kids can literally want to die and to them they are just another number . Go private because CAMHS are not all interested in helping . They will do the minimum work & tick boxes . Thats it !

The Incredible years course run here a couple of years ago was very helpful with wonderful support. Wish I'd known about it sooner.

If I could give it a zero I would. I had been in and out of this service for years. In 2021/22 I was told by them that there was nothing wrong with me, that I didn’t have depression and I wasn’t suicidal even though I was in the hospital after an attempt. They kept saying I’m fine and took me off all medications that were helping me. A two year old could do a better job than these mfs! Never and I mean NEVER send your child here! This isn’t a professional place

This organisation hires psychologists who have failed in business.

Nice environment with lovely staff who are highly trained and always professional.
