The Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) Single Point of Access is the central hub for all mental health referrals in the Oxfordshire.
Supportive Steps is a programme offered within CAMHS, to parents and carers to help them get support without having to be placed on a waiting list.
Social prescribing
The Supportive Steps social prescribing from Response is aimed at supporting cases which may not meet the threshold for need at the time of referral, but signpost parents and carers to other appropriate and helpful support within the wider community.
Our social prescriber brings the expertise needed to support social prescribing and community connectivity for children, young people and families.
When referrals are made into the Single Point of Access, the Response social prescriber will be allocated to appropriate young people in need of support.
