Addressing Access to Child Mental Health Services in Primary Care: Implementation and Feasibility of the Colorado Pediatric Psychiatry Consultation and Access Program
Child psychiatry access programs help support access to youth mental health care in the primary care space and offer potential solutions to workforce limitations during an era of increasing mental health concerns in youth and teens. Findings from this implementation may inform adaptation of child psychiatry access programs in other regions seeking to expand mental health support for children and adolescents in primary care settings.
