How our service can help you
CAMEO (Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Assessing, Managing and Enhancing Outcomes) is a mental health service for people who are struggling with distressing experiences like hearing voices or feeling paranoid.
We offer two parts to our service, those that may be at high risk of developing a mental health condition such as psychosis and those that may be experiencing their first episode of psychosis.
We provide services across Cambridgeshire, Peterborough, Huntingdon and the Fens for people aged 14-65 years old.
What do we offer?
- Psychological therapies
- Medical consultation
- Emotional support
- Practical help with housing and finances
- Support with education and employment
- Physical health assessment with targeted interventions as required.
We also offer family and carer support and work with individuals and their families for up to two years in our at-risk service and three years in the first episode service.
We hope to help people get their lives back on track and move forward in whatever ways they consider most important and meaningful.
If you or someone you know is struggling with hearing voices, feeling paranoid or having unusual experiences that can’t be explained and are distressing, please get in touch with us. Intervening early can lead to a much better chance of a full recovery.

Carers Information
-
A carer is anyone, including children and adults who looks after a family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their illness, frailty, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction and cannot cope without their support. The care they give is unpaid.
At Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, we value the often life-long support carers provide and recognise them as equal care partners. We want to offer as much guidance and reassurance as possible, to help you in your caring role. You can find general information and support for adult carers, young carers and parent carers by following this link.
