Child Psychiatry Access Network

Last May, the Texas Child Psychiatry Access Network (CPAN), a network of child psychiatry access centers at 11 regional hubs that provide child and adolescent behavioral health consultation services and training opportunities for pediatricians and PCPs, launched statewide.

The North/Northeast Regional CPAN Hub is run through Children’s Health℠ and UT Southwestern. As a member of CPAN, you are linked to a Children’s Health/UT Southwestern CPAN team member should you ever have a young patient in your office with a behavioral or mental health concern.

This peer-learning approach reduces the mental healthcare access gap created by the shortage of child psychiatrists.
