Research Initiatives

The TCMHCC research initiative has created two state-wide networks across the departments of psychiatry at state-funded HRIs to improve the delivery of child and adolescent mental health services in Texas in alignment with the state-wide Behavioral Health Strategic Plan.

Each of the two statewide research networks is focused on a specific topic area pertinent to advancing the delivery of child and adolescent mental health services. The networks are the:

Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network (YDSRN)

Childhood Trauma Research Network (CTRN)

The goals of the research networks are:

to better understand and improve mental health services to address youth trauma, depression and suicide, and
to identify regional and statewide service delivery gaps to inform policy makers and to improve the mental health of children and youth in Texas.
