Texas Child Mental Health Care Consortium- SB 11 Services

The Texas Child Mental Health Care Consortium- SB 11 Services is made up of five initiatives:

The Child Psychiatry Access Network (CPAN) provides telehealth-based consultation and training to primary care providers.

The Texas Child Health Access Through Telemedicine (TCHATT) program provides in-school behavioral telehealth care to at-risk children and adolescents.

The Adolescent Substance Use Disorder (ASUD) program is part of the Texas Child Health Access Through Telemedicine (TCHATT). ASUD provides free specialized substance use treatment for adolescents ages 12-18 years with problematic alcohol and/or substance use.

The research initiative has created two state-wide networks to study and improve the delivery of child and adolescent mental health services in Texas.

The Community Psychiatry Workforce Expansion (CPWE) funds full-time academic psychiatrists as academic medical directors and new psychiatric resident rotation positions at facilities operated by community mental health providers.

The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (CAP) Fellowship program expands both the number of child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship positions in Texas and the number of these training programs in Texas HRIs.
