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.

This ***deAwarenessWeek, Texas PeriPAN can help your practice integrate su***de prevention protocols for pregnant and postpartum women.

Maternal mental health conditions are common, and we want you to feel comfortable approaching mental and behavioral health screening much like your existing workflows for other comorbidities such as gestational diabetes, and we can help you determine when to refer a patient for specialized care.

Our PeriPAN Perinatal Mental Health Toolkit has resources for obstetric clinicians, patients, and their families to help them engage in safety planning and know the signs an emergency intervention may be needed: https://tcmhcc.utsystem.edu/peripan-toolkit/
