Haringey Children and Young People Mental Health Service (CYPS) is an NHS-run service consisting of 5 teams which work closely together. 

The Haringey CYPS provide attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) assessments for children and young people. Children between 0-18 years can be referred for ADHD. However, we do not assess children for ADHD until they are 6-year-old.

Mums In Mainstream is a support group for Mums of kids with an autism diagnosis. We provide a peer network and a supportive environment for all stages of the autism journey.

It is not a group for professionals working within the field of autism and is not a general SEN group. Our ethos is "neurodiversity-positive" meaning we exist to support ourselves and our kids through their autistic journeys and consider autism as a different way of being and not a deficit or illness which needs curing.
