Hello,
My 17 year old son is currently in a CAMHS unit because his mental health broke down in July. He is now sufficiently recovered for discharge to be considered. However, he has nowhere to go. He cannot return home due to child protection issues. A panel meets today to discuss funding and I think,after this, potential providers may be approached.
I want my son to have a safe, supportive placement that will enable him to develop and progress as a young person. However, I know social services have many budget restrictions and may try to press for the most economical and convenient placement.
Has anyone any ideas how I can help my son get the provision he needs?
