In this section
The Academic Child Psychiatry Unit (ACPU) operated as a clinical research unit and used to offer a thorough assessment of young people with various psychiatric and behavioural problems and difficulties. The ACPU is no longer accepting new referrals. Please refer to the ACPU home page (About Us) for current information about the ACPU.
The ACPU does not provide crisis intervention. Crisis intervention can be provided by services such as your local Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) or local hospital emergency department. Please also contact your child’s primary health care team (including General Practitioner or Paediatrician, etc).
