The Texas Child Mental Health Care Consortium was created by the 86th Texas Legislature to leverage the expertise and capacity of the health-related institutions of higher education to address urgent mental health challenges and improve the mental health care system in this state in relation to children and adolescents. The Texas Child Health Access Through Telemedicine Program (TCHATT) is one of five initiatives the TCMHCC funds. The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at UT Health San Antonio administers TCHATT in 35 counties across the South Texas region.
Through TCHATT, K-12 students receive short-term therapy services and/or medication management. Individualized referrals to long-term services will be provided when needed.
UT Health San Antonio TCHATT licensed providers include:
- Psychiatrists
