The CAMHS Hillside InReach Team is a specialist mental health provision embedded within Hillside Secure Children's Home (SCH), delivered by Swansea Bay University Health Board and commissioned by Hillside SCH. The service supports children and young people aged 10-18 presenting with complex mental health needs within a secure environment. Children frequently present with multiple adverse childhood experiences, developmental trauma, neurodevelopmental differences, and high levels of emotional and behavioural distress.

The team works in close partnership with Hillside SHC to provide care that is grounded in trauma and attachment informed principles. Central to the model is psychological formulation, which guides collaborative decision making, informs risk management, and strengthens relational safety. Reflective practice and supervision are integral, supporting staff's resilience and effective care delivery in high Intensity environments.
