Utah Psychiatric Phone Consultation Program (CALL UP)
Program Overview:
CALL-UP is designed to address the limited number of psychiatric services in Utah and improve access to them. The program is funded by the Utah State Legislature and by the Pediatric Mental Health Care Access Program (PMHCAP) under a grant awarded by the US Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). This statewide program helps serve Utah providers in the care of their patients' mental health at no cost.
The goals of the program are to:
1. Optimize primary care providers’ ability and confidence to diagnose and treat mild to moderate mental health issues;
2. Improve quality of care and health outcomes for patients by affording early interventions;
3. Promote and improve mental health and physical health integration; and
