Bridging the Gap in Rural Communities: Accessing Behavioral Health Services Through Telehealth
Children, youth, and families living in rural and frontier communities face significant disparities in access to quality behavioral health services. Presenters share an innovative model for using telecommunications to reach children, youth, and families in rural Appalachian Ohio and in other rural locations. Participants learn about how technology is used for telepsychiatry, tele-psychotherapy, clinical supervision, case consultations, workforce development, and management functions to enhance behavioral health services for children, youth, and their families. Telehealth processes hold great promise for rural and frontier communities working to improve access, acceptability, and availability of behavioral health services and supports. This Webinar is hosted by the Federal Interagency Rural Behavioral Health Workgroup in collaboration with the Technical Assistance Partnership and the National Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence Prevention.
