Spill The Tea: CAMHS survey for parents/carers who identify as part of the queer community or who have young people who are part of the queer community
Welcome to the parent/carer LGBTIQ+ survey
Dear parent/carer,
We are inviting you to take part in Spill The Tea- The CAMHS LGBTIQ+ (Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer plus) Parent/Carer survey. CAMHS Rainbow Group are trying to find out about how someone who is part of the LGBTIQ+ community experiences CAMHS services so we can improve and make sure our services are inclusive and welcoming .
The CAMHS Rainbow Group is a group of clinicians, young people, and peer workers who identify as being part of the LGBTIQ+ community, or who have close relationships with people who are in the community. We want to make CAMHS the most safe, welcoming and inclusive service we can, so we're looking into how people feel coming to the service, how they were treated during their therapy and any suggestions they can make as to how we can be better.
The survey will take about 10 minutes to complete. The results will be confidential- we won't ask you to identify yourself, we won't tell the clinician your young person is seeing or your young person what you say. If any of the questions bother you, you can talk with someone you trust or you can call Lifeline on 13 11 14. You can also speak with CAMHS Clinician Jessica Bos on 8252 0133.
Survey feedback will be analysed and a poster of main themes will be printed and posted in CAMHS waiting areas and patient congregation areas, so that you can see what people have said and how CAMHS intends to improve based upon this feedback. This feedback will also be posted on the SA Health Facebook page, the Women's and Children's Health Network Facebook page and sent to LGBTIQ+ Rainbow email networks.
Thank you for taking part, if you have any feedback about the survey you can contact Jessica Bos on 7321 4500.
