Behavioral Health Treatment Insights and Provider Support (BH-TIPS)

Free, virtual behavioral health consultation for Ohio primary care providers

Connect with Nationwide Children’s Hospital psychiatrists and a social worker through a virtual appointment to receive provider to provider consultation regarding:

• Screening, assessment, and diagnostic clarification
• Principles of medication and non-medication management to fit the specific clinical needs
• Information about available behavioral health resources and linkages in your local community

Our goal is to support primary care providers in the management of children and adolescents with behavioral health concerns in the primary care setting through educational consultation and information about resources in their communities for timely access to care.  

Virtual appointments are not appropriate and should not be used for:

• Emergencies and crisis
• Expediting referral to psychiatry
• Same-day urgent assistance and acute safety
