Description

Tele-Behavioral health has quickly shifted from something that some of us use some of the time, to one of the primary ways we will practice for the foreseeable future. And while virtual care is a viable, effective treatment method, there are inherent risks every clinician must know how to address, including how to:

  • Conduct a mental status exam remotely
  • Assess for suicidal ideation and behaviour
  • Respond effectively to risk of suicide and/or violence from a distance
  • Intervene when you suspect your client is under the influence
  • And more!

Please join me in this recording - you will gain insight and build skills for utilizing tele-behavioural health to address these important issues. Purchase today!
