One Screen, Many Faces: Creating Space For Working
with Couples and Families Via Telehealth
Join us for a Live Webinar on September 13, 2022 from 1-2:30 pm EST
1.5 CE hours available for behavioral health clinicians
The effectiveness of telebehavioral health (TBH) has been documented for common presenting problems such as depression, anxiety, PTSD and trauma disorders, and substance use and abuse. In addition to the wide variety of presenting problems, TBh has been demonstrated to be effective for many different populations including those who are unable to access health care services due to their geography, those in rural areas, and military personnel. Conducting telebehavioral health (TBH) with more than one member of a relational system can be highly effective. On the other hand, working within TBH can also be fraught with limitations introduced by technology, varying locations of clients, and working with different developmental levels in one setting.
In this session, participants will be apprised of the benefits of multiple members in a session. This includes a focus on varied TBH strategies for working with members of a relationship system who are from different stages of development. Participants will also learn when it is appropriate to conduct TBH sessions with couples and families, and learn creative techniques for creating space for couples and families over TBH.
Learning Objectives:
- List the benefits of multiple members in family sessions.
- Explain when it is appropriate to conduct relational sessions via TBH.
- Use creative techniques for facilitating sessions with couples and families.
