What is the Center for Collaborative Care?
The Center for Collaborative Care is designed to improve the identification and treatment of child and adolescent mental health problems using a collaborative model of care between pediatricians, pediatric psychologists and child and adolescent psychiatrists..
Since 2012, the CCC has established a network of primary care providers and child and adolescent mental health providers to improve access to child mental health care. The CCC offers advanced child mental health clinical training and outpatient psychiatric consultation to pediatric providers. The CCC is generously funded by a $1.25 million endowment from the JSOCI through The Partnership, the Baptist Foundation, and the Hall-Halliburton Foundation.
