A partnership with Seattle Children’s Hospital, the Wyoming Partnership Access Line (PAL) is your direct line to a psychiatric consultation for any pediatric patient in Wyoming (ages 0–19), regardless of their insurance status. 

Staffed by child and adolescent psychiatrists, and funded by the Wyoming Department of Health, the PAL supports pediatric providers (doctors, nurse practitioners, therapists, social workers) with questions about mental health care including:

  • Child psychiatry
  • Diagnostic clarification
  • Medication adjustment
  • Mental health care
  • Treatment planning
