About
Our Team:
The Child and Adolescent
Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in Western Australia offer support,
advice and treatment to children and adolescents from birth to 18
years who are experiencing mental health challenges.
The Complex Attention and
Hyperactivity Disorders Service (CAHDS) is a statewide service
supporting children and young people under 18 years of age, along
with their families, who experience ongoing difficulties with
attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
CAHDS works with children
and young people who have a confirmed diagnosis of Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and who are currently
receiving treatment for challenges related to inattention,
hyperactive behaviour, or impulse control.
What CAHDS
Provides
CAHDS conducts comprehensive
multidisciplinary assessments to identify a child or young person's
strengths and challenges, and to assess for other mental health
conditions that may co‐occur with ADHD.
The service does not
provide ongoing treatment; instead, it delivers detailed assessment
outcomes and management recommendations, working in partnership
with referrers and other services to support ongoing
care.
Assessments may include
input from the following disciplines:
Psychosocial assessment
(examining psychological and social factors influencing mental
health)
Speech
