Following on from the previous episode, CAMHS Clinical Nurse Specialist Veronica Plej is back for Part 2 of this important conversation.
She is here to tell us all about CAMHS Crisis Connect and how the service can help to support a young person experiencing a mental health crisis.
The team behind the service are dedicated and expert mental health professionals who are an excellent source of advice, information and support for young people and families who are struggling with their mental health.
Veronica emphasises that while Crisis Connect can be an alternative to visiting a metropolitan emergency department within a hospital, you don’t have to be in crisis to contact the service.
Veronica also recommends anyone working with or caring for someone impacted by poor mental health should prioritise self-care.
CAMHS Crisis Connect can be contacted on 1800 048 646.
It is a free 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Perth metropolitan service.
The Kids Health Matters series provides trusted advice on common child health concerns from leading experts at the Child and Adolescent Health Service (CAHS).
