About the workshop: This three hour webinar is designed for social workers and behavioral health providers who are adapting to our digital society. Join our webinar to understand how you can provide continued care, amid COVID-19. Through an engaging presentation, hands-on learning, and an interactive Q + A, we’ll teach you how to utilize the right devices, policies, and practices for teletherapy services you can use to limit risk and maintain ethical practice.

  • During the pandemic, are you working from home in contrast to a traditional office?
  • Are you struggling to adapt to the digital shift that COVID-19 has heightened?
  • Do you feel lost overwhelmed with the thought of shifting to teletherapy, and you don’t know where to start?
  • Are you confused or lacking clear information about when and how to transition back to normal, post-COVID? What should your new normal even be?
  • Are you able to access the same technology/software at home that you had in your office?
  • Is this your first time trying out phone and video therapy?

If you’re trying to navigate these changes alone during COVID-19, you’re probably feeling overwhelmed. By attending this webinar, you’ll learn that you’re not alone. We have solutions to help you confidently maintain confidentiality.
