We provide specialist NHS services and support to children and young people up to 18 years old who are experiencing difficulties with their emotional, psychological and mental health. We have teams of staff across Sussex and in the community, such as GP surgeries, clinics, hospitals and schools, who can help you and your family to get the support that you need.

We also provide some specialist services for young people, adults and professionals. These services are called Children and Young People’s Services (ChYPS).
