KSKidsMAP Network
In Kansas, 99 out of 105 counties are designated as mental health professional shortage areas, leaving 70% of Kansas children and adolescents with unmet mental health needs. Of the counties designated as HPSA, 23 out of 99 have primary care physicians to fill this gap. KSKidsMAP aims to create a community of physicians and clinicians from across Kansas coming together to share, learn and support each other in their treatment of children and adolescents with mental and behavioral health concerns. As of Spring 2022, the KSKidsMAP network has grown to 200 physicians from 63 of the 105 Kansas counties.
KSKidsMAP for Autism, Neurodevelopmental Disorders, and Intellectual Disabilities
KSKidsMAP for Autism, Neurodevelopmental Disorders, and Intellectual Disabilities (KANDID) was created in response to the increasing number of physicians and clinicians requesting support for pediatric patients with mental health care needs within these specific populations. A sub-program of KSKidsMAP, KANDID offers case consultations, specific TeleECHO Clinic sessions, webinars and an annual in-person conference. The expanded pediatric mental health expert team includes physicians board-certified in child and adolescent psychiatry, neuropsychiatry, pediatrics, developmental behavioral pediatrics, a child and adolescent clinical psychologist and a licensed social worker, all with expertise in KANDID populations. The KANDID team is available for scheduled case consultations on Friday mornings between 8 and 9 a.m.
