Back in December, I had an assessment with CAMHS and they decided to do a referral to adult services because they felt that I needed support but I was going to be turning 18 soon after. However, I have now been rejected by adult services after my CAMHS worker met with them last week. It`s ridiculous. People just seem to think that family therapy and social services is going to solve everything. My mum doesn`t even know about my panic attacks and that`s something really affecting me. I got told something about having a care act assessment but it made absolutely no sense.

It's worth following up on what this care act assessment is - it might be another route that you can get support. Perhaps it's worth checking with the CAMHS worker or GP? How would you feel about doing this?
I hope that you are able to get the support that you want and need. And of course, we'll be here to support you every step of the way
