In collaboration with the Division of Psychiatry at CHLA, the Care Network has established an outpatient behavioral health clinic, The Behavioral Health Institute - Wilshire. In subsequent to our Peer-2-Peer (P2P) consult line, the outpatient behavioral health clinic has been established to provide access to additional behavioral health resources for our Care Network members.

 

The Behavioral Health Institute - Wilshire is staffed by CHLA psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners and psychologist; is available to pediatric patients ages 0-18 and is offering both in-person and telehealth visits. At this time, the clinic only accepts commercial health plans.

 

Please note: The Behavioral Health Institute - Wilshire should not be used for emergency/crisis situations.
