CAMHS transformation plan

Turning the Tide on CAMHS in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly is the transformation plan for child and adolescent mental health services. The plan updates and replaces the Joint CAMHS Strategy Implementation Plan 2015-20, issued in October 2015.

At its heart the plan aims to improve the emotional wellbeing and mental health of all our children and young people, to build their resilience and to ensure that those who experience emotional wellbeing and mental health problems get the right help at the right time.

The transformation plan, which was developed with young people and their parents, emphasises the importance of promoting emotional wellbeing, by providing high quality advice and guidance and information about where to get help using digital technology, telephone and face to face contact. We want to ensure that all agencies that support children and their families work effectively together, in ways that are helpful and make sense to children and their families.
