Please be aware that these events are provided completely free by the NHS, and therefore providing refreshments to all attendees is not possible. The venues for PACE events change, and Camhs rely on sourcing large spaces to allow as many people as possible to attend, therefore they are unable to always provide parking, or be close to accessing local cafes. You are encouraged prior to attending to consider what refreshments you will need, and where you may be able to park.
Our aims
To provide information in a way that is helpful, engaging and non-threatening;
To present information that will de-stigmatise mental illness and other related issues;
To raise awareness of potential issues and where to seek help, advice and support.
