What is CAMHS? and yes I know what it stands for...?

I know it's some sort of counselling, but basically, i went doctors about depression, got referred to CAMHS they referred me to relate counselling, then i had to go back to the doctors after being confessing to my counsellor about feeling suicidal and self-harming again, so got referred to back to CAMHS again, so now I'm seeing a counsellor or something from there instead, I have had this explained to me a few times, but i just can't concentrate on what they're saying and keep zoning out, so now I'm just confused... what is the difference?!

They are the organisation that deal with mental health problems in children and teens, that's all.
