• Support for Primary Care Providers

  OnTrackNY

  OnTrackNY is an innovative treatment program for adolescents and young adults who have had unusual thoughts and behaviors, or who have started hearing or seeing things that others don’t. This may mean psychotic symptoms (such as hallucinations), unusual thoughts or beliefs, or disorganized thinking. OnTrackNY is for people who have experienced these symptoms for more than one week, but less than two years.

  OnTrackNY helps people achieve their goals for school, work, and relationships. It utilizes a shared decision making model and involves:

  • Comprehensive treatment using evidence-based practices
  • An integrated clinical team specializing in early psychosis
  • Psychiatric treatment
  • Employment and educational support
  • Substance abuse treatment, and family education and support
  • CBT-informed individual psychotherapy
  • Other services as needed

  Resources are available to providers, and programs are located throughout New York State and available to NYS residents.

  For more information, including how to make a referral, visit OnTrackNY’s Website.

   
  Project TEACH

  Project TEACH aims to strengthen and support the ability of New York’s PCPs to deliver care to children and families who experience mild-to-moderate mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and ADHD, in children, adolescents, and young adults up to 22 years of age. It is funded by the New York State Office of Mental Health.

  Project TEACH offers, at no cost:

  • Consultations PCPs can speak on the phone with child and adolescent psychiatrists to ask questions, discuss concerns, or review treatment options. If indicated, they can also get a face-to-face evaluation.
  • Referrals Linkages and referral services help PCPs and families access community mental health treatment and support services.
  • Training Free CME-certified education and training offered in several different formats relevant to mental health in primary care.

  All pediatric PCPs in NYS, including pediatricians, family physicians, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and other prescribers, are eligible to receive Project TEACH services at no cost. Additionally, other mental health professionals who provide ongoing treatment to children, such as child and adolescent psychiatrists, general psychiatrists, and psychiatric nurse practitioners, may request a second opinion through consultations. Maternal mental health consultations, education, resources, linkages, and referrals to address maternal depression and related mood disorders and anxiety are also available.

• Diversity and Cultural Competency

  Cultural and Linguistic Competency

  MVP is committed to ensuring services are provided to our members in a culturally competent manner. Health care cultural and linguistic competency is the ability of providers to understand the social, ethnic, religious, and linguistic characteristics of a population and use this understanding to improve the quality of care providers deliver. Regulations prohibit MVP and its contracted providers from discrimination based on health status. To ensure our members are treated with dignity and respect, and that their cultural needs are considered, MVP providers may access e-learning offered by the Uniform Network Provider Training Services free of charge.

  Completing one of the trainings below is required by participating Providers serving our government program members and encouraged for all others. After completing a training, please attest to completing it here.
