Resources provided by MedEquip4Kids for Wigan CAMHS

MedEquip4Kids has provided 90 CAMHS teams across the UK with books, games and
toys. These specialist materials help children like Ben, who features in the
appeal, to understand and communicate their feelings and to manage their
conditions. Wigan CAMHS say:
‘The
resources supplied by MedEquip4Kids are fantastic as it is exactly what we
requested to meet the needs of our team.’
“It’s OK to ask for helpâ€

David

David, who is thought to have an autism spectrum disorder, attends CAMHS at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport. David’s sessions include staff observing how he plays. His mum says he loves the toys there. MedEquip4Kids has provided some of the books and games.
