Quick reminder that CAP-PC is still accepting applications for the REACH Mini-Fellowship in Child Mental Health for November 5-6 for Downstate PCPs (at Columbia) and December 4-5 for Upstate PCPs (at Syracuse). Please note that due to increased support from OMH we are again able to provide this at no cost to PCPs! Thank you OMH! Sign up here.
With school starting up again we want to remind you about a great service that is available to your complex patients with Medicaid: Health Homes. This is a great opportunity to get a care manager involved with your tougher situations and lighten your load! This is a Medicaid service funded through NYS DOH. Hopefully this service will one day be expanded to include all children!
Our phone line is open Monday-Thursday 8 am-7 pm and Fridays 8 am-5 PM. Keep your calls coming 1-855-227-7272–together we are making a huge difference for kids and families!

Last week Time magazine had an article on the rising use of telemedicine in child psychiatry. Click Here !! While we are NOT able to provide ongoing treatment, we are able to provide tele-psychiatric consultation evaluations for your pediatric patients who live more than 40 miles from our hubs or have other transportation barriers. We have been providing in person consultation evaluations from the beginning of the program and have now completed over 500 for your patients. If your patient needs a telepsychaitric evaluation let us know!
Ever wonder where to send those kids who need that mental health referral that takes their insurance, is geographically convenient, delivers evidence based treatment??
YES YOU CAN CALL CAP PC IF YOU’RE JUST LOOKING FOR REFERRAL HELP! You know the number: 855-227-7272. Call us M-Th 8-7 and Fridays 8-5.
Together we making a huge difference for kids and families!

It is difficult to understand and navigate the developmental disability system and accessing services. CAP-PC has identified a resource on Parent to Parent of NY that is a guidebook called the Guide to Understanding NYS Office of People with Developmental Disabilities Supports and Services. Also, the Useful Links section on the CAP-PC website has recently been updated, as has a list of books for parents and kids on OCD and Anxiety.
