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 also practical tools that you can implement in your daily telemental health practices.
By attending our workshop, you will be able to:
- Define telemental health and what constitutes telehealth delivery.
- Name items that should be included in an Informed Consent Form and other areas of intake and assessment around telemental health.
- Identify different delivery methods of telemental health services.
- Give examples of at least two platforms and resources around HIPAA rules and best practices.
- Identify and review multiple ethical considerations around the practice of telemental health.
