MAPP Behavioral Health
Behavioral health support for children, teens & parents
Families can begin with a consultation with their child’s MAPP pediatric provider or contact the Behavioral Health team directly. Choose the starting point that best fits your family’s needs.
Getting Started
Choose how to begin
Families can begin with the MAPP pediatric provider who knows their child or contact MAPP Behavioral Health directly.
Talk with your pediatric provider
Choose this path if you would like help understanding a new concern or deciding what support may be appropriate. Schedule a consultation with your child’s MAPP practice. If specialty care is needed, the provider can make an internal referral.
Contact Behavioral Health directly
Families who are ready to discuss Behavioral Health services can contact the intake team directly. The team can review the concern and explain the appropriate next step.
