The California Child and Adolescent Mental Health Access Portal (Cal-MAP) is a no-cost consultation program that supports primary care and school-based providers in delivering timely, high-quality mental health care to youth ages 0–25. Cal-MAP is part of the CalHOPE pediatric access initiative and is designed to expand access to behavioral health services, particularly in California’s rural and underserved communities. Through Cal-MAP, providers who screen for Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress can be connected with child and adolescent psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers for real-time support. In this webinar, we will provide an overview of Cal-MAP’s services, including consultation on screening, diagnosis, and treatment from child psychiatrists, as well as resource and referral guidance from licensed social workers.
