CHIP RESOURCE DIRECTORY - THIRD EDITION
Updated February 2010 (Available online only)
The Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program's (CPEP's) Children’s Health Innovation Project (CHIP) is pleased to make this directory available to pediatricians, family physicians, other primary care providers, and the children’s mental health community in Onondaga County. The purpose of this directory is to make providers aware of potential referral resources for children and adolescents with mental health needs. Please feel free to share this link or print the document or selected pages to share with patients and colleagues. This third edition is available on-line only and we have tried to make it as accurate and complete as possible. We checked the information we were given, but know it is not complete. We plan to update the directory periodically and need your help. Please send us your additions and corrections so we can increase its usefulness and facilitate referrals for children’s mental health services. (Phone 315-448-6346 / Email CHIP@sjhsyr.org )
CHIP OVERVIEW:
CHIP is working to improve community based mental health services for children, adolescents, and their families in Central New York. Discussions with primary care practitioners reveal a number of challenges in meeting the mental health needs of children at a time of increased cost containment. Pediatricians, family physicians, and other primary care practitioners report that they are, by default, providing mental health care for children who would be more appropriately served by a mental health specialist.
