This module looks to provide an overview of the range of clinical presentations seen within a typical child and adolescent mental health community service (CAMHS). Taught by a former Consultant Clinical Psychologist within CAMHS, students will consider the role of the Clinical Psychologist in assessing and therapeutically supporting children, young people and their families and explore what it means to deliver evidence based practice within a multidisciplinary team. It will include formal teaching seminars and small group based activities using relevant anonymised case material. Whilst students will deepen their theoretical knowledge, there will also be an emphasis upon discussing and building professional skills and competencies. This module would best suitable students wishing to learn more about working with vulnerable children and their families, and those considering a career in clinical or educational psychology.
