If your child or adolescent is at immediate risk to themselves, to or from others, please seek help immediately by contacting your local public services, going straight to your local A&E or calling 111. Please be aware that while we are a private mental health practice we are not an emergency service. We provide assessments and therapy by appointment only and so if you are needing more care than this could provide your child, teen or family please contact your GP for further recommendations, including your eligibility and contact details for accessing your free local CAMHS (Child Adolescent Mental Health Service).
IMPORTANT: If you are concerned about your child or adolescent currently being at significant immediate risk to themselves, please immediately take them to your nearest Hospital Emergency Department for review by the psychiatric liaison team. Alternatively, contact your local Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS), requesting to speak with the person on ‘Duty’. The numbers for your local CAMHS are available on the
Werry Workforce website
. If a child or adolescent is at risk to or from others please immediately remove them (or the person they are harming) from any environment that may put them at risk.

What to Expect
The direction of the initial/first assessment appointment will be based on the referral information provided at the time of referral, any psychometric data collected through psychometric questionnaires by Totally Psyched as part of the collection of information done prior to an initial appointment and the information provided by those that attend the appointment. Ideally you will also get an opportunity to discuss you or your child’s goals and therapy/treatment options at this appointment. If you have any questions, please ask your specialist and they will provide a full verbal explanation at this time. A written explanation can also be provided upon request.
Consent to send out Psychometric Questionnaires to Third Parties as part of the appointment preparation process
*
In an effort to make your first initial assessment appointment as efficient as possible at times we request information from parents, young people and/or teachers through psychometric assessment questionnaires/general questionnaires in advance of the appointment. All psychometric assessments are extremely high quality evidence based, standardised, reliable and valid. Questionnaires are usually sent via secure digital portals directly to requested recipients or via post or email (if need returning urgently) and are completely confidential to our practice. We do not give out information but rather are collecting it so the Specialist has as a breadth of information to enable a quality assessment of multiple factors across multiple domains.
I agree to questionnaires being sent to me/my child’s guardians/parents
I agree for questionnaires to be sent out to my child's teacher
I agree for questionnaires to be sent out to my child/adolescent
I do not agree to any questionnaires being sent out at all

Privacy - sharing information with your GP
*
During the time your child is seeing a Child and Adolescent Psychologist, Paediatrician or Psychiatrist we develop clinical records that remain completely secure and private to this clinic. After a Psychiatric assessment a letter is sent to your child's GP as part of their confidential medical records, and this is routine medical practice. After a Psychological assessment an email is usually sent privately to guardians/parents/young adult with a summary of any recommendations made and the plan developed so far, plus any resources that may be useful. After neuropsychological assessment a report is completed and sent to the guardians/parents/young adult to distribute as per your wishes. At the end of psychological therapy a very brief 'End of Therapy Report' is written and sent to the guardians/parents/young adult and your child/adolescent's GP to inform them on what therapy was completed and the outcome. In NZ, your GP securely holds records of all physical and mental health summaries and is also highly confidential. Please let us know if there is any reason we should not send a copy of these summaries (not including the email) to your GP as a routine part of their care.
