The COVID-19 pandemic forced many human interactions into virtual spaces, including mental health care and therapy. Providers, care plans, and policymakers rushed to expand virtual access to therapy and other wellness treatments.
Through interviews with expert clinicians and researchers, “Spotlight on Virtual Mental Health Care,” explores the pandemic’s pivot to virtual care technologies — their advancements and challenges. How well are video and telehealth options replacing in-person care? Who benefitted from the expansion of online services, and who was left out of these new tech-reliant solutions? How well do mobile wellness apps protect patient privacy?
Call to Mind host Kimberly Adams interviews national leaders in telemedicine and mental health to learn how well virtual mental health services are working, and how these still-evolving technologies will shape care into the future.
