Advanced Telemental Health Experiential Training: Intensive 8-hour TMH skill building program 
 

Session Description:

Presenting a two-day course, comprised of up to 8 hours of experiential learning in Telemental Health, to provide the mental health clinician with a hands-on learning experience in providing telemental health services from the point of first contact with a client to the point of termination. Attendees will be asked to work in small groups to practice direct interaction with clients to gain experience in each step of the process of establishing ethical psychotherapeutic relationships with clients and conducting successful treatment using videoconferencing as a service delivery model.
