The best way to learn about PeriPAN is to hear directly from a peer who has already integrated it into their practice. It only takes 5 minutes to sign up by calling 888-901-2726, Option 3 then 2.

Emily Briggs, MD, MPH, FAAFP, past Texas Academy of Family Physicians president and founder of Briggs Family Medicine in New Braunfels, shared her experience using PeriPAN in a family medicine setting. She explained how it only takes minutes to hear back from a perinatal psychiatry expert, often allowing you to proceed with care recommendations while the patient is still in your office.

Dr. Briggs also serves on the Texas Collaborative for Healthy Mothers and Babies and was recently honored by American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists - ACOG for her work in maternal care.

Transitioning from the school year to summer break can temporarily disrupt children’s usual habits and emotional regulation. Some symptoms may warrant a closer look.

When should you be concerned about emotional disturbances or noticeable changes in sleeping and eating routines? CPAN has free resources about detecting possible signs, designed for members of The Texas Pediatric Society, Texas Chapter of the AAP and any other clinicians treating children and youth: https://tcmhcc.utsystem.edu/resources/depression/

Over the past 5 years of CPAN, and now PeriPAN, we’ve worked to increase clinician capacity with more than 900 free, high-yield CEUs and 100+ specialized trainings on treating pediatric and perinatal patients, even if behavioral health isn’t their area of expertise.

What do we mean by high yield? A participating clinician put it best: “If I’m going to give up my lunch hour, when I could be charting, it better be worth it – and these [CMEs] are. I applied what I learned that same afternoon.”

We offer a range of ongoing webinar series, and we’re always adding more to our events page: https://tcmhcc.utsystem.edu/events/

Family, pediatric, and OB/GYN care present critical opportunities to intervene. The mental health crisis calls on us all to work together to bridge gaps and specialist shortages. Thank you to the clinicians who have engaged with our team in more than 5,000 outreach events and clinic visits.
