Engagement & Participation

Welcome

Hello, welcome to participation at MFT CAMHS. This page will help you learn more about participation, how you can get involved, have your say, and make a difference with us.

Here at MFT CAMHS our Engagement & Participation team is made up of our Engagement Workers, Engagement Champions & the Engagement Lead.  We have a specific Parent/Carer Engagement Worker to ensure parents and carers also have a voice in service development.

 

Engagement/participation, what does that even mean? It’s all about creating spaces for you to have your say so we can work together to make positive change. That could be getting involved in shaping services, projects, and ideas that matter to you. Your voice matters and we want to hear it!

CAMHS are here to support children, young people and their families. To be able to do this right, we need to understand and learn about current issues you face, what’s important to you and what you want from us – for this to work, we need to listen and work together.

Engagement Team

Our team is made up of Engagement Workers, Engagement Champions and an Engagement Lead who work together to ensure your voice is heard.

Engagement Worker

Supports Engagement Champions to develop projects and leads on their own projects, their role is strictly engagement and participation and we have a specific Parent/Carer Engagement Worker.

 

Engagement Champions

They are the main person within their CAMHS team who promotes and leads on all things engagement and participation. They will also have another role in their team, for example they may work as an Assistant Psychologist.

Engagement Lead

Supports both the workers and champions to do the work they do. Think more managerial.
