Workshop Description:

In this unique telemental health workshop, we delve into the intricacies of modern clinical practices, focusing on clinical excellence and the legalities of practicing across state lines as well as internationally. We’ll discuss enhancing rapport-building and deepening connections by applying Polyvagal principles and Somatic experiences. Participants will have the opportunity to experience the effectiveness of these interventions tailored to telemental health settings.

On the legal side, we'll provide the latest updates on inter-state practice, including detailed guidance on navigating state laws, spotlighting developments in PSYPACT, the Counseling Compact, the Social Worker's Compact, and the current status of Marriage and Family Therapists. The workshop will also introduce new essential items to include in your Informed Consent documents, ensuring compliance with state laws and transparent disclosure regarding the use of artificial intelligence in clinical settings, if applicable. Furthermore, we'll identify valuable resources for practitioners considering international practice, broadening mental health professionals' horizons globally. Lastly, our review will cover a brief overview of HIPAA-compatible platforms, encompassing video-conferencing, texting, emailing, and cloud storage solutions, to maintain confidentiality and security in digital communications and record-keeping.

This workshop promises to equip mental health professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the evolving landscape of digital health practices, also known as Telemental Health.
