Parental mental ill health and substance misuse are factors that can have a negative impact on parenting capacity and often co-exist. Children and young people may be adversely affected by their parent's mental ill health or substance misuse but may also experience difficulties themselves with mental ill health and substance misuse.
Children’s mental health services are delivered by the Camden Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS).
More information on CAMHS and the services on offer can be found on their web-site Open-minded.
