Improving mental health care and systems of care for the children and adolescents of Texas.
The Texas Child Mental Health Care Consortium (TCMHCC) was created by the 86th Texas Legislature to leverage the expertise and capacity of the health-related institutions of higher education to address urgent mental health challenges and improve the mental health care system in this state in relation to children and adolescents.
In 2021, the Texas Legislature approved federal funding from the American Rescue Plan Act for expanded services of several of the Consortium’s initiatives.

Primary care providers can access the Child Psychiatry Access Network (CPAN) for assistance with behavioral health care for their child and adolescent patients.
Perinatal Psychiatry Access Network (PeriPAN)
Reproductive care providers statewide can now access the Perinatal Psychiatry Access Network (PeriPAN) for assistance with perinatal mental health care for their patients.
TCHATT provides telemedicine or telehealth programs to school districts to help identify and assess the behavioral health needs of children and adolescents and provide access to mental health services.
The Texas Legislature established the Perinatal Psychiatry Access Network (PeriPAN), which builds off the massive success of a similar initiative for children’s mental health.
