CAMHS - 1st appointment

[Orange32]

Hi, we have our 1st appointment with CAMHS for DS on 4th September, this will include me, DP and DS however they are happy for DS to wait outside after a while so we can dicuss things without him hearing our concerns. I am just wondering what to expect from this 1st meeting?

Any advise appreciated, thanks.

Basically lots of questions - all the concerns and developmental history, family history etc. No physical examination of any sort. Ours lasted a couple of hours but was for two children. We were then passed onto the next person (several months later) and process repeated - Sigh.
