全州全州新的免費心理健康資源現可供醫生使用，以更好地支持他們的青年患者

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.

薩克拉門托—加州衛生保健服務部 (DHCS) 推出了加州兒童和青少年心理健康訪問入口網站 ( Cal-MAP )，以支持青少年獲得良好的心理健康護理。這個免費的電話和網路入口網站由加州大學舊金山分校 (UCSF) 合作創建，並透過兒童和青少年行為健康倡議 ( CYBHI ) 實現，使初級保健提供者、兒科醫生和其他門診醫生能夠立即獲得諮詢、資源和培訓，以便更好地滿足 0-25 歲青少年和年輕成年患者的心理健康需求，無論患者的保險狀況如何。

“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.”

「想像一下，一位在農村社區接受心理健康培訓有限、服務資源有限的初級保健醫生，他的青少年患者出現了焦慮和抑鬱的跡象，」 DHCS戰略夥伴關係辦公室副主任Autumn Boylan說。「現在，醫生可以登入 Cal-MAP.org，直接與合格的心理健康專業人員組成的跨學科團隊聯繫，並立即解決他們的心理健康問題。透過在醫師診間提供及時的護理，青少年可以立即得到適當的治療，從而減少去急診室就診的需要。

“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.

為什麼這很重要： 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:

• 諮詢：為位於加利福尼亞州的基層醫療提供者提供篩查、診斷和治療的即時直接基層醫療服務提供者對兒童和青少年精神科醫生諮詢。
• 教育：基層醫療服務提供者、學校臨床醫生和員工可以免費接受培訓，提供認可的持續醫學教育和持續教育單位。
• 資源導航：有關資源指南，向基層醫療提供者的轉介以及持牌臨床社會工作者與有價值服務的聯繫。

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.

「加州大學舊金山分校很榮幸與加州醫療保健服務部 (DHCS) 合作推出 Cal-MAP 計畫。「現在所有加州青少年都可以從這種模式中受益，」加州大學舊金山分校精神病學和行為科學系兒童精神病學副主任兼加州大學舊金山分校貝尼奧夫兒童醫院行為健康副總裁布萊恩·金博士說。“CYBHI致力於創新、促進公平以及以青少年和家庭為中心，這使我們能夠為加州範圍內的項目開發出獨特而特殊的功能。”

“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.

從更宏觀的角度來看： Cal-MAP 是 CYBHI 的一部分，CYBHI 是加州州長加文·紐森 (Gavin Newsom) 制定的兒童心理健康總體規劃和加州心理健康系統轉型計劃的核心組成部分。2024 年 1 月，DHCS 推出了兩個行為健康虛擬服務平台，為年輕人及其家庭提供免費、安全和保密的心理健康支援： BrightLife Kids為 0-12 歲的兒童及其父母或監護人， Soluna面向 13-25 歲的年輕人。
