“As both a pediatrician and director of CYBHI, I am thrilled about Cal-MAP.

Vim li cas qhov no tseem ceeb: Fifty percent of all lifetime mental illnesses begin by age 14, and 75 percent begin by age 24. Unfortunately, access to child psychiatry has been a significant problem nationwide for decades. Consequently, pediatric primary care providers often find themselves on the front lines of diagnosing and treating these conditions, often with limited training and support. To address this issue, Cal-MAP supports all primary care providers treating youth in California by providing:

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING: DHCS partnered with UCSF’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals to scale services statewide. Before the statewide launch of Cal-MAP, UCSF ran the Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Portal (CAPP), which served as a vital pilot program focused on improving regional access to pediatric mental health care. Over the past five years, CAPP has provided consultation, education, and resources to nearly 3,000 California primary care providers with more than 4,000 consults to date.

UCSF zoo siab koom tes nrog DHCS los tsim Cal-MAP. Tam sim no txhua tus tub ntxhais hluas hauv California tuaj yeem tau txais txiaj ntsig los ntawm tus qauv no, " Dr. Bryan King, Tus Lwm Thawj Coj rau Kev Kho Mob Hlwb Me Nyuam hauv UCSF Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences thiab Tus Lwm Thawj Coj rau Kev Noj Qab Haus Huv ntawm UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals tau hais.

“Whether during real-time consultation or interactive discussion of training materials and current clinical scenarios, education is at the heart of what we do,” said Dr. Petra Steinbuchel, Cal-MAP Director and UCSF Professor of Psychiatry. “Each learning exchange, however brief, enhances California primary care providers’ knowledge, skills, and confidence in addressing youth mental health concerns. Cal-MAP supports the CYBHI’s aims of increasing timely access to high-quality, culturally responsive care in lower-stigma settings like primary care, so children and youth get care at the right time, by the right clinician, for the right length of time.”
