If you have been receiving support from children’s healthcare services, this will usually stop once you reach 18. At this point you should have been transferred to any relevant adult health services to meet your future healthcare care needs.

For mental health needs, you may have a short period of continued support from CAMHS, or your care will be transferred to your GP, who can refer you to further support if needed. If your needs are higher, CAMHS will discuss a referral to adult mental health services with you.

You may find our transitions with health services and health support for young adults pages useful.
