Early Childhood Supports and Services (ECSS) provides consultation to pediatric primary care providers to promote mental health in children birth to six years.
We are pediatric mental health providers: child psychiatrists, pediatrician-child psychiatrists, child psychologists, and clinical social workers within the Tulane Institute of Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health.
We provide grant-funded consultation to pediatric primary care clinicians in the New Orleans and Baton Rouge metropolitan areas, helping to build their capacity to identify risk factors early, promote family well-being, and understand and respond to mental health issues in children birth to six years.
Clinical consultation about patient mental health and behavioral concerns may be offered on-site or by phone, email or secure video:
- Contact us with a question or consultation request and receive a response within a day.
- Consult with our child and adolescent psychiatrists, psychologists, and clinical social workers for clinical questions, resources, and referral information.
- Schedule a telehealth consultation during your patient’s clinical visit.
- Refer a patient for a telehealth consultation and receive a written report with clinical care recommendations.
- Drop in during telehealth office hours, Fridays 8 to 11 a.m. for unscheduled consults. Call 504-862-ECSS (3277).
We provide brief, topic-focused trainings for your primary care clinic, clinical and resource information for providers and families, and evidence-based virtual parenting education groups are available for parents and caregivers at no cost.
