In July 2025, the Ohio Pediatric Psychiatry Access Line (OPPAL) will launch, offering primary care providers in Ohio access to a telephone helpline for same day, convenient peer to peer consultation with child psychiatrists. Upon launch OPPAL services will be available for physicians or providers with prescribing authority in Ohio who provide primary care for children and adolescents (through age 21).

• How to register for OPPAL as a provider or administrator.
  
  
• Introduction to the OPPAL website and connections to existing resources, such as Minds Matter and OhioRISE.
  
  
• Review of what providers can expect when calling OPPAL.
