The Children and Young People's Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (CYP IAPT) project is an exciting programme working with existing CAMHS to:

• Improve access to CAMHS and improve the partnership between children, young people, families, professionals and services
• Build capability to deliver positive and measurable outcomes for children, young people and families
• Increase the choice of evidence based treatments available

Children and young people in need of help from CAMHS should have clearly signposted routes to specialist help and timely access to this, with help available during any wait [3].
