Workshop Description:
Video-based telehealth has demonstrated rapid and expansive adoption among mental health providers worldwide. Although comprehensive telehealth-focused education has been suggested as needed by field experts and guiding organizations to foster ethical, legal, evidence-informed and safe practice, available training opportunities have remained relatively limited and fragmented. To assist providers, the presentation will offer an evidence-informed discussion of the use of videoconferencing in psychological care, detailing multiple essential areas of a technology-enhanced practice. Following the defining of telehealth and associated terminology, current research findings of video-based telehealth will be outlined. Research-informed competencies will be detailed before logistical factors relevant to day-to-day use are defined. Helpful resources for practice will be provided.
Workshop Objectives:
By the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to
- Identify the key elements of contemporary videoconferencing-based research
- Identify at least two competencies relevant to the use of videoconferencing in psychological practice
- Describe at least three pertinent factors related to the provision of video-based services for psychological care.
