Sexual Trauma Teams – Meadows/ No. 54
Description
There are two sexual trauma teams within CAMHS
- Meadows : cover Edinburgh, Mid and East Lothian
- No54 : cover West Lothian
Both teams work with children, young people, and their families who are experiencing emotional, behavioural and mental health difficulties following sexual abuse. They also provide a service for children who display problematic sexual behaviour. Referrals for these services can be made directly to either team.
Referrals are accepted from a number of sources, e.g. GP, Social Worker, health visitor and community paediatrician.
Allegations must have been reported in line with child protection procedures.
If you would like to discuss making a referral please telephone on (0131) 451 7400
