Child psychiatry access network (CPAN)
CPAN is a network of child psychiatry access centers that will provide child and adolescent behavioral health consultation services and training opportunities for pediatricians and primary care providers.
CPAN is funded and administered by the Texas Child Mental Health Care Consortium (TCMHCC)
Why CPAN?
There is a barrier for behavioral health services due to the shortage of child psychiatrists.
Children are more likely to see a primary care physician or pediatrician when they are experiencing challenges with their behavior.
CPAN takes a peer learning approach in providing care for children and adolescents with behavioral health needs.
