If you are currently receiving help from CAMHS and things have become very difficult for you, and you need some extra help, you can telephone the CAMHS duty worker during the day Mon-Fri (9am-5pm).
We are a small team of mental health professionals from different backgrounds who are based at the hospital in Ysbyty Gwynedd. We are available 7 days a week from 9am to 5pm. We work with you following a referral from the Emergency Department and we would have a chat with you to see how we or other people can support you with your mental health difficulties.
We will work with you and support you to complete a safety plan that will help to reduce any thoughts or triggers you may have so you can feel more in control. The safety plan may include ideas for:
Self-soothing boxes and a really good way of supporting you to keep as calm as possible and refocus your mind on what matters to you- sensory toys, things you like the smell of, photos, blanket, nice memory items, snacks, pens and paper for doodling or writing thoughts and feelings, face masks and hand creams etc.
