Texas Child Psychiatry Access Network - CPAN

Free and trusted mental health resource team for pediatric and perinatal health clinicians in Texas.

Texas Child Psychiatry Access Network (CPAN) offers no-cost, clinician-to-clinician consultations related to specific patients or general questions as well as care coordination and training to pediatric health clinicians to assist with identifying and treating mental and behavioral health concerns in child and youth patients across the state. Texas Perinatal Psychiatry Access Network (PeriPAN) now extends these services to clinicians serving pregnant and postpartum women with mental health needs. Both programs can be accessed by calling the same hotline number: 888-901-2726

CPAN and PeriPAN are initiatives of the Texas Child Mental Health Care Consortium (TCMHCC), which was created by the 86th Texas Legislature to leverage the expertise and capacity of Texas health-related institutions of higher education to address urgent mental health challenges and improve the mental health care system in the state.

CPAN’s regional teams of pediatric mental health experts can provide no-cost assistance to Texas clinicians. Call 888-901-CPAN to start a rapid, peer-to-peer consult.

On her experiences consulting with the Texas Tech Health El Paso team, Dr. Wawer-Chubb said: “CPAN services are awesome! They make it so easy to get in touch with a psychiatry colleague to go over cases that are more concerning or urgent."

When indicated, CPAN may recommend a one-time, patient-psychiatrist consult to clarify diagnosis and follow-up with treatment plans you can implement in a primary care setting, rather than waiting on an outpatient appointment with a specialist.

Texas has a statewide research network dedicated to advancing care for youth depression and su***de. Through Texas Child Mental Health Care Consortium (TCMHCC), the Texas Youth Depression and Su***de Research Network (TX-YDSRN) unites all 12 Health-Related Institutions to generate the evidence clinicians need to improve outcomes for young Texans.
