As a young person who has been under CAMHS lifesaving services for the past five years, I could also see from experience the enjoyment the young people on the wards would likely feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I reached out to the friendly team at Christmas for CAMHS and was warmly responded to. The team suggested that as I was designing the paper chains digitally it might be an idea to leave elements that the young people could colour in. I loved the idea so ensured to build the colouring-in elements into the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>50 cut-out festive paper chains later, I popped them in the post for the team to pass on to a CAMHS ward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A brilliant project and definitely very rewarding!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find out more about Christmas for CAMHS here is a link to thier website: <a
