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.

Texas clinicians can call PeriPAN at 888-901-2726 for free, rapid consults about perinatal mental health. How can our experts help you with patient care?

Reproductive Psychiatrists are specially trained on the environmental and biological changes related to pregnancy, so they can provide peer-to-peer advice on anything from medication management for pregnant and breastfeeding women to therapeutic interventions for women struggling with infertility, pregnancy loss, or infant death.

12 regions. 1 team. In February, experts from every health-related institution delivering CPAN and PeriPAN services across Texas gathered in Austin for the 2nd Bi-Annual Summit.

This opportunity to learn, share, and connect strengthened how we support clinicians around the state. We continue refining our approach to deliver quality mental health support and remain responsive to the needs of Texas children, women, and the clinicians who care for them.

To support you in caring for pregnant and postpartum patients, PeriPAN has developed a practical Perinatal Mental Health Toolkit and companion pocket card. It is designed to support clinicians with clear, actionable guidance at the point of care. Read more from the Texas Academy of Family Physicians about integrating this practical tool into your clinical workflow:
https://www.tafp.org/news/a-practical-new-tool-to-support-perinatal-mental-health-care-in-family-medicine

As rates of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders continue to rise in Texas, family physicians are often the first—and most consistent—point of care during this critical period. Early identification, timely treatment, and clear referral pathways can make a meaningful difference for patients and families.

One of the benefits of learning alongside fellow Texas clinicians in CPAN & PeriPAN’s free CME webinars is learning how peers have used program resources in real-world scenarios.

We’re so glad Brittany Hays, LCSW, shared an example in the chat of how she assisted an OB in her role as a psychiatric social worker.

Having CPAN and PeriPAN info on hand to share with colleagues amplifies the impact you can have as a trusted expert and peer.

March is Self-Harm Awareness Month. Reducing access to lethal means is a critical part of safety planning—especially for children and adolescents whose conditions can affect impulse control.

A recent American Academy of Pediatrics article highlights a high-risk profile among boys ages 10–13, where there is often little time to intervene between ideation and self-harm.

March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, and Texas clinicians can call CPAN at 888-901-2726 for help finding targeted and specialized resources to support patients with developmental disabilities and their families.

Nationally, the CDC reports that about 17% of children ages 3 to 17 have one or more developmental disabilities, and many experience co-occurring mental and behavioral health conditions. Yet, many families and clinicians are not aware of what types of supports exist, such as:
➡️ Information about mental health considerations in primary care.

➡️ Vetted web resources on a child’s rights and education options in school.

➡️ Community referrals for parents to understand their child’s condition(s) and needs.

➡️ Direct patient-psychiatrist consults to clarify mental health diagnosis and treatment plan, as indicated.

(Registered clinicians can also text their local HRI to start a request.)

Our no-cost, peer-to-peer consultations are helping Texas clinicians meet their pediatric and perinatal patients’ mental and behavioral health needs. When indicated, our experts may also suggest a direct patient consult, a service that includes:

✔️Scheduling and coordination by our team.

✔️Assessment results or follow-up care recommendations sent to you.

Our partners at ACOG District XI came to us with a great idea to make it easier for clinicians to integrate mental health screening during essential perinatal visits. Introducing the Cut-Score Pocket Card, a quick-reference guide on recommended tools for determining type and severity of various conditions.
