(Source: https://www.grampianonline.co.uk/) NHS Grampian’s Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Team is one of four across Scotland currently trialling the success of computerised cognitive behavioural therapy (cCBT) programmes for the parents, teachers and carers of anxious children, as well as for young people themselves.
If successful, the availability of these programmes is likely to be rolled out across the country.
CAMHS service manager in Grampian Amanda Farquharson said: “Existing international research on the effectiveness of internet-delivered interventions for young people who are struggling with their mental health is limited.
