Mental health support for children and young people

If you need support with the mental health and wellbeing of a child or young person aged 0 to 18 and living in Kirklees, we provide:

• advice and support programmes for parents and carers
• therapeutic support for children and young people who attend a Kirklees school, including home educated and college students registered with a Kirklees GP

If a child needs further intensive intervention, they will be referred to their local Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS).
