These are some of the comments received from Children and Young People who participated with the CAMHS team :
“ the main thing was that we felt fully involved, we were treated as people we were really glad we had total input”
“ it was really good to interview different people who had different jobs in the team…we had never met people like that before”
“ I feel I know what the team are supposed to offering to children and families and how important it is for families to say what they want”
“ you lot (the CAMHS team), made it really fun, I felt part of the team and you listened to what I had to say”
“ we felt that we really made a difference, you spent time with us, we feel if we had not been able to give our views then maybe things would have gone differently, so things would have not changed”
“ we really enjoyed ourselves, we had a right laugh”
“ I was worried that because people are older than me, they would not listen, but they did, it made be realise that young peoples views are really important”
“ the experience has made me feel more confident about myself and made me think about a lot of things”
“ you talked with me and explained everything really well, everyone was really great and helpful, I feel better about doing things in my own life now”
