Our long name is Fife Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service, which you’ll mostly see written as CAMHS, and hear as “cams”.

A system of support
We work as part of a big system to help make sure you get the right support when you need it. This system is called Getting it right for every child (GIRFEC). This means everyone working together to support your mental health and wellbeing, including family, friends and professionals in health, social care, education and voluntary agencies. In Fife we call this Our Minds Matter.
