Texas Child Psychiatry Access Network - CPAN

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.

Chronic physical conditions are correlated with a 20% higher risk for perinatal mental health symptoms, and mental health symptoms can worsen physical recovery after birth.

PeriPAN provides free, high-yield education. During a recent PeriPAN ECHO session on “Managing Co-Occurring Health Conditions in Women with Behavioral Health Conditions” clinicians found the education on care coordination challenges for OBGYNs particularly helpful.

During RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association's annual National Infertility Awareness Week, we want to remind Texas clinicians PeriPAN is here to help you connect women to mental health treatment at any stage of their perinatal journey.

According to Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience, “Patients who undergo assisted reproductive treatment (ART) are at significant risk of experiencing psychiatric disorders and it is important to recognize, acknowledge, and assist these patients as they cope with their infertility diagnosis and treatment.”

No call is too small for our reproductive psychiatrists and other mental health experts. Call or click to learn more:

As we conclude National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, we want you to remember the important role pediatricians play — and how CPAN can support you — in early identification and care coordination.

For busy pediatricians, consistent screening and coordinated connections to behavioral, developmental, and community supports are essential—especially when these needs intersect with co-occurring mental and behavioral health conditions that affect functioning, learning, and family well-being.

Call CPAN for targeted, clinician-ready resources to support care for patients with developmental disabilities:
