They didn’t just give me a diagnosis. They gave me my life back.
Our modern and cutting-edge clinic is conveniently located in the Edgbaston area, just on the outskirts of Birmingham City Centre. It has excellent accessibility, whether you will be visiting us via public transportation or driving your child to their appointments.
We specialise in a wide range of mental health conditions affecting children and adolescents, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, behavioural issues, eating disorders, and more. We also provide support for emotional difficulties, trauma, and family-related challenges.
While we are dedicated to providing comprehensive support for many mental health conditions, there are certain situations where our private CAMHS service may not be appropriate. We do not provide care for:
- Suicidal thoughts or severe self-harm
- Severe eating disorders with a BMI below 15
- Children currently under the care of a crisis team
- Young people with severe needs that require management within NHS CAMHS services
If your child is experiencing an acute crisis, we encourage you to contact your NHS GP or call NHS 111 for immediate assistance. At Midland Health, your child's safety and well-being are our top priorities.
Medication is only recommended when necessary and is carefully considered alongside other treatments like therapy. We will explain the benefits, risks, and potential side effects, and only proceed if it's the best option for your child.
The assessment typically begins with an in-depth discussion of your child's history and current challenges, followed by psychological evaluations. This allows us to gain a full understanding of your child's needs and determine the best course of treatment. Parents and sometimes teachers are also involved to provide a complete picture.
Every child is different, so the length of treatment varies. Some issues may be resolved with short-term interventions, while others may require longer-term support. We’ll work with you to develop a plan that suits your child’s needs and ensure ongoing reviews of their progress.
We believe that family involvement is crucial for effective treatment. We’ll work closely with you to provide guidance, support, and practical strategies for managing your child’s condition at home. Regular communication and updates are a key part of our approach to ensure your child’s success.
Midland Health has partnered with a highly reputable electronic prescription provider, SignatureRx, to make receiving your prescriptions faster and easier. With our new paperless system, you can choose to collect your medication using your secure prescription code or have it delivered directly to your home free of charge.
