Young Peoples' Summer PIE!

Welcome to the Young Peoples' Summer PIE! (Participation Involvement Event). This event is for all young people across London and the South East who are interested in participation and are currently involved with - or have previously been involved with - CAMHS services. This event is being organised by the Anna Freud Centre's Young Advisors who are all ex-CAMHS service users aged between 19-23.

We invite young people and their participation worker/service representative to join us in celebrating achievements in and sharing experience of collaborative working. The event will be an opportunity for people to share their creative approaches to participation and tips to improve collaboration and co-production within services, as well as to have fun meeting new people from other CAHMS services. Lunch and sweets included!

FAQs

Is there an age limit to enter the event?

There is no age limit, but if you are under 18 you will need consent from a parent/guardian in order to attend the event. If you are over 18 but attending alone, we will ask you about any support needs you might have and ask that you provide emergency contacts details.

Can I attend the event alone or do I need to be accompanied by a representative from my service?

The event is designed to celebrate involvement, so it would be great if you could come with your participation worker or key representative from your service. However, we want to make the event open to all those who feel passionately about participating in CAMHS and are aware that some people may not have access to a representative from their service. Please make this clear when registering for the event so we know who is coming and are able to accommodate all attendees.

Where can I contact the organiser with any questions?

Please contact Charlotte Barrett if you have any questions about the event: charlotte.barret@annafreud.org.
