Using Telehealth Effectively in Mental Health Care

Using Telehealth Effectively in Mental Healthcare

Telehealth services increased significantly in the context of COVID-19, and many services continue to offer telehealth options. Despite this, many practitioners report only using telehealth out of necessity, and feel ambivalent about utilising telehealth.
This resource provides an update of the evidence and practical considerations for telehealth.

The following resource is designed for mental health practitioners working in rural or regional NSW who use telehealth in treatment and are interested in learning about the evidence and practical considerations for telehealth therapy.

This is an introduction to working with telehealth and is not exhaustive nor designed as a manual. It is not designed to replace clinical decision making or specialised training. We encourage all practitioners who are working in this space to seek training and engage in professional supervision and reflective practice.
