新的免费全州心理健康资源现已向医生开放,以便更好地支持他们的青少年患者
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: California launched a web-based portal that gives California primary care providers access to no-cost direct consultations, education, and resources to assist them in navigating and addressing mental health and substance use disorders for patients between 0 and 25 years of age.
萨克拉门托——加州卫生保健服务部 (DHCS) 推出了加州儿童和青少年心理健康访问门户网站 ( Cal-MAP ),以支持青少年获得良好的心理健康护理。这个免费的电话和网络门户网站由加州大学旧金山分校 (UCSF) 合作创建,并通过儿童和青少年行为健康倡议 ( CYBHI ) 实现,使初级保健提供者、儿科医生和其他门诊医生能够立即获得咨询、资源和培训,以便更好地满足 0-25 岁青少年和年轻成年患者的心理健康需求,无论患者的保险状况如何。
“Cal-MAP is helping to lay the foundation for a more coordinated, youth-centered, prevention-oriented, and accessible mental health system that supports young people when, where, and in the way they need it most,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “Supporting our primary care providers with resources, such as Cal-MAP, will help meet the mental health needs of children and youth and improve access to equitable, quality care.”
“想象一下,一位在农村社区接受心理健康培训有限、服务资源有限的初级保健医生,他的青少年患者出现了焦虑和抑郁的迹象,” DHCS战略伙伴关系办公室副主任Autumn Boylan说道。“现在,医生可以登录 Cal-MAP.org,直接与合格的心理健康专业人员组成的跨学科团队联系,并立即解决他们的心理健康问题。通过在医生诊室提供及时的护理,青少年可以立即得到适当的治疗,从而减少去急诊室就诊的需要。
“As both a pediatrician and director of CYBHI, I am thrilled about Cal-MAP. Having the support of a child psychiatrist on the other end of the phone — as well as many online curated resources and tools to improve my clinical acumen — is a win for me and a win for my patients. I look forward to this service benefiting children and youth to get the care they need with the doctors they already know and trust,” said CYBHI Director Dr. Sohil Sud.
为什么这很重要: 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:
- 咨询:为加利福尼亚州的初级保健提供者提供实时、直接的初级保健提供者与儿童和青少年精神病医生咨询,为 0-25 岁的青少年提供筛查、诊断和治疗。
- 教育:初级保健提供者、学校临床医生和工作人员可以参加提供认可的继续医学教育和继续教育单位的免费培训。
- 资源导航:资源指导、初级保健提供者的推荐以及获得有执照的临床社会工作者提供的宝贵服务的联系。
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.
“加州大学旧金山分校很荣幸与加州医疗保健服务部 (DHCS) 合作推出 Cal-MAP 项目。“现在所有加州青少年都可以从这种模式中受益,”加州大学旧金山分校精神病学和行为科学系儿童精神病学副主任兼加州大学旧金山分校贝尼奥夫儿童医院行为健康副总裁布莱恩·金博士说。“CYBHI致力于创新、促进公平以及以青少年和家庭为中心,这使我们能够为加州范围内的项目开发出独特而特殊的功能。”
“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.”
Primary care providers interested in Cal-MAP’s consultation services, trainings, and resources can visit Cal-MAP.org to register and access all services. Primary care providers can also contact the Cal-MAP team via phone at 800-253-2103 or email at info@cal-map.org for any questions about registration or services provided.
从更宏观的角度来看: Cal-MAP 是 CYBHI 的一部分,CYBHI 是加州州长加文·纽森 (Gavin Newsom) 制定的儿童心理健康总体规划和加州心理健康系统转型计划的核心组成部分。2024 年 1 月,DHCS 推出了两个行为健康虚拟服务平台,为年轻人及其家庭提供免费、安全和保密的心理健康支持: BrightLife Kids面向 0-12 岁的儿童及其父母或监护人, Soluna面向 13-25 岁的年轻人。
