Texas Child Mental Health Care Consortium (TCMHCC)
The TCMHCC was funded by the Legislature through the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (the THECB) to implement five different mental health initiatives. Under their leadership, the Consortium supports the Child Psychiatry Access Network (CPAN), the Texas Child Health Access Through Telemedicine (TCHATT) program, workforce expansion programs (CAP and CPWE), and research. For more information on these initiatives, visit the TCMHCC website.
Community Psychiatry Workforce Expansion (CPWE)
The CPWE provides full-time psychiatrists to serve as academic medical directors at facilities operated by community mental health providers and new psychiatric resident rotation positions at the facilities.
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowships (CAP Fellowships)
CAP Fellowships provide additional child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship positions at the health-related institutions.
The TCMHCC is leading the development of a plan to promote and coordinate mental health research across state university systems in accordance with the statewide behavioral health strategic plan developed by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.
