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.

Texas PeriPAN Medical Director Sarah Mallard Wakefield, M.D., presented at the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists - ACOG Annual District Meeting for ACOG District XI & ACOG District I as they gathered in New Orleans earlier this month.

Key takeaways:
➡️ When mental health care is part of every perinatal visit, it changes outcomes—reducing stigma, risk, and the number of separate appointments patients need.

➡️ Collaboration between ACOG and PeriPAN is vital to meeting screening guidelines. The goals are clear: early detection, timely response, and lasting remission.
