The Traumatic Stress Clinic at Great Ormond Street Hospital Department of Child and Adolescent Mental Health, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust, Great Ormond Street, London WC1N 3JH. Tel: 020 7829 8679 (Direct line) Fax: 020 7813 8411

The Traumatic Stress Clinic specialises in working with children, young people up to the age of 18 and their families who are survivors of traumatic events. This can include things like road traffic accidents, being attacked or bullied, violence or disasters.

Bad and sad things like this are common and can happen to anyone, and many people recover quite quickly without specialist help. When things are taking longer than normal to recover and stopping life getting back to normal, our clinic may be able to help. We receive referrals from all over the UK and your family doctor (GP) or local Child & Adolescent Mental Health (CAMHS) team will be able to refer you.

Dr Dora Black and her team first set up the Traumatic Stress Clinic for children and families in 1993. In 2005, the clinic moved to Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and is part of Attachment and Trauma team in the Department of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). The team currently consists of a consultant psychiatrist, family therapist and clinical psychologist.
