NEW: Partnership Access Line: Mental Health Consultation Outreach for Children • PAL is a new program, designed for you. It is funded by the Washington State Legislature and by the Department of Social and Health Services. • Primary care providers may call the toll free number (866-599-7257) during business hours (M-F, 9-5) for any type of child mental health advice for any child they see - A program assistant will ask for provider’s name and basic patient information - A child psychiatrist then will speak to the provider either immediately, or, if there must be a call back, it will usually be within 10 minutes. • If child psychiatrist and PCP over the phone determine further consultation is needed, a rapid appointment will be offered with the child psychiatrist for DSHS/Healthy Options clients |
