The American Board of Telehealth has opened registration for its new self-paced, online behavioral telehealth certification program.
In response to growing behavioral health needs during the pandemic, the ABT developed this curriculum to give mental health professionals the tools to effectively deliver behavioral health services through telehealth. The COVID-19 pandemic set off a new wave of mental health and substance abuse issues across the country. With anxiety and depression on the rise, behavioral telehealth is one way to increase services, especially in rural or underserved areas,” Whitney Flanagan, RN, director of education for the American Board of Telehealth, said in a statement.
