In collaboration with the Division of Psychiatry at CHLA, the Care Network has established an outpatient behavioral health clinic. 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 outpatient clinic 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 outpatient behavioral health clinic should not be used for emergency/crisis situations.
