Description

Telebehavioral health (TBH) is revolutionizing mental health care, extending therapeutic reach to diverse populations who might otherwise struggle to access essential support, including those in remote areas, military personnel stationed far from home, and individuals with limited mobility.

With research demonstrating its effectiveness in treating mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance abuse, TBH offers an innovative approach to therapy. It's particularly well-suited for couples and family therapy, as it allows therapists to observe interactions in clients' natural environment, providing a unique window into relational dynamics that may not be evident in a clinical setting. However, working within TBH can be fraught with limitations introduced by technology, varying locations of clients, and working with different developmental levels in a single session.

This engaging and informative course will help you understand the implementation and best practices for conducting therapy sessions with couples and families via telehealth.

Participants will delve into the remarkable benefits of incorporating multiple family members into telebehavioral health sessions and explore various strategies for effectively working with members of a relationship system at different stages of development, ensuring that each person feels heard, understood, and supported. They will learn how to confidently assess when telebehavioral health is the most appropriate modality for couples and families and learn creative techniques for creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive virtual space for couples and families in TBH settings. Through innovative methods and practical examples, participants will learn how to enhance engagement, foster strong therapeutic alliances, and address the unique challenges presented by telehealth.

Whether you are a seasoned therapist seeking to expand your practice or just beginning your journey into telebehavioral health, this course will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to embrace the digital age of therapy, support couples and families remotely, and make a lasting difference in their lives.
