The Crisis Intervention and Home Treatment Team is for young people already known to CAMHS. It aims to provide a timely service, enabling them to respond both quickly and intensively to children, young people and their families and/or carers. The service is for children and young people up to age 18 in Sandwell and Wolverhampton. They offer specialist services to those children and young people whose mental health is having an impact on their daily functioning (usually due to risk and/ or severity of mental illness) and who require urgent intervention. The overall aim of the team is to reduce the frequency of admissions into a Child and Adolescent Inpatient Unit, keeping children and young people at home with their families, where they can receive a specialist intensive CAMHS support.
