Overview
Even prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the world was moving towards a more online environment including the provision of therapy services. Since COVID-19, there are more professionals practicing through Telemental Health and this number continues to grow. In Telemental Health there are different considerations than in-person therapy and it is critical that the clinician be well-versed in this area of practice. This training will dive into many facets of Telemental Health – including intake and assessment, informed consent with sample forms, different types of delivery methods, HIPAA rules including HIPAA compliant platforms and rules around electronic communication, issues that arise with termination of services, policy changes and updates on COVID policies, risk management, social media ethics, and other ethical considerations. Don’t miss this informative training that will provide you with not only “hands-on” information but practical tools that you can implement in your daily Telemental Health practices.
