Concerns are being raised that children in West Clare cannot access mental health services outside of working hours.
Currently, the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service in West Clare works with children in distress and the families from 9 to 5, Monday to Friday.
Young people who may need assistance at another time may be directed to CAMHS (pron: cams) services in Galway city.

Having raised the matter at the HSE’s Regional Health Forum West, Kilkee-based Fianna Fail Councillor Cillian Murphy says young people’s concerns are being exacerbated by the pandemic.
