The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the uptake of telehealth seemingly overnight and transformed the delivery of behavioral health care. This transformation enabled the provision of essential services to a broad array of populations – many of whom had never accessed behavioral health-related care before. Telehealth has been shown to be an effective modality for providing therapeutic services, and in addressing persistent access-related challenges such as provider shortages, geographic barriers to care, and specialty gaps. This session will discuss the relevant policy, compliance, and practice dimensions of telehealth and the enduring impact that this technological paradigm shift will continue to have on the delivery of behavioral health care.
