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.

In the summer months, youth may be disconnected from school-based resources, teachers and mentors, and social opportunities. All of this can make reporting and addressing bullying harder for children and their parents.

What role can a pediatrician play in protecting youth from bullying? StopBullying.gov explains how clinicians can detect warning signs, coach parents, and advocate for children and youth:
