Care Coordination

Family Voices is our partnering agency providing care coordination for consultations and referrals to behavioral health providers in the patient’s home community or by telehealth. Family Voices care coordination offers a host of services connecting youth and their families to many needed services throughout the state.

Training & Educational Opportunities

Project ECHO aims to increase workforce capacity by sharing knowledge. Project ECHO does not provide direct patient care. It does, however, provide healthcare professionals in the primary care section with expertise and support to care for their patients’ complex behavioral healthcare needs. It also increases access to behavioral healthcare in or near the patient’s home community.

The Project ECHO sessions include a brief didactic overview, a Q&A, and a case presentation to aid in the learning loop experience. The project ECHO session topics are generated from ongoing survey feedback from ECHO and Symposium attendees.

Additional topics were added as guidance for the American Academy of Pediatrics. Attendees can earn one free CME by attending and completing the pre/post-test assessments.

Bi-monthly ECHO sessions

Direct Client Consultation

This service is only available to enrolled providers.

Direct client consultation for patients and families needing diagnostic clarification or treatment recommendations.

  • This service is only performed as a one-time consultation for the patient, who then continues treatment with the primary care provider.
  • In order to have a direct client consultation, the primary care provider needs to first complete a peer-to-peer consultation with a child adolescent psychiatrist on the PMHCA team. This helps ensure the referred is necessary and coordinates record requests to aid in a complete review and comprehensive psychiatric consultation.
How To Enroll

The North Dakota Pediatric Mental Health Care Access Program (PMHCA) strives to increase the capacity of primary care providers to assess and provide treatment to children and adolescents who have behavioral/mental health conditions by linking them to child and adolescent psychiatry providers and other behavioral health professionals.
