Webinar - Using Apps for Clinical Care? 5 Steps to Legal, Ethical, Evidence-Based Mental Health Apps

SAN DIEGO - March 28, 2024 - PRLog -- San Diego, CA - Telehealth.org will launch a webinar on Monday, April 1, 2024.

Clients and patients rely on psychotherapists and other healthcare practitioners to suggest the best mental health apps for their care. Although many clinicians report using mental health apps in their clinical practice, few have received specific training to select, implement and monitor the use of evidence-based mental health apps. Host and speaker for this event, Dr. Maheu explained, "Using apps suggested by clients or colleagues or app reviews can get you into trouble. As licensed healthcare professionals, we are expected to understand, use and document our use of all interventions, and the evidence base supporting them." She continued, "This program will provide you with practical, legal, and ethical guidance for where to find evidence-based, mental health apps and how to use them in your therapy practice."
