Tele Behavioral Health Practices and Standards for Effective Clinical Outcomes


Total Credits: 3 including 3 Category I CEs


Dates


Description

The way in which we deliver behavioral health has forever changed due to the covid crisis. Many behavioral health services moved from in person to online literally overnight. With the lifting of the state of emergency and the waivers that have been granted related to Telebehavioral Health (TBH), the landscape in which to provide legal and effective service is less clear.   This workshop will examine best practices in TBH and review the current legal and practice standards.
