Children and Young People’s Mental Health Services East

Children and Young People’s Mental Health Services East (CYPMH East) is a mental health service that supports children and young people up to the age of 18 who are experiencing a range of mental health difficulties.

We are based at Burnley General Hospital and at The Mount, Accrington. We consist of several teams, including: 

• Sector Teams
• Day Unit
• Primary Care Team (Primary Mental Health Workers)
• Integrated Mental Health Team: Youth Justice (IMHT)
• Responsive and Intensive Support Team (RAIS)
• Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs), based in schools

CYPMH East is made up of people from different professional backgrounds who are skilled in working with children, young people, and their families. We also support professionals who need help and advice.

The teams include consultant psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health nurses, social workers, mental health practitioners, specialist therapists, risk support liaison practitioners, and a team of friendly secretarial and admin staff who will be your first point of contact should you contact CYPMH East by telephone.

Referrals can be made via schools, GPs, and other health professionals. You can also self-refer via our online form.
