AC21 - B5 - The New Frontier: Infant And Early Childhood Tele-Mental Health Care (Sponsored by Little Otter Health)
There is a perception that tele-mental health care with young children and families cannot compare in quality or effectiveness to in-person care. During the last 18+ months when providers had to deliver the majority of care via zoom, we discovered that telemental health care for young children and families works. In this session, presenters will use clinical vignettes to illustrate how early childhood tele-mental health care (1) improves access and convenience, (2) is as effective as in-person care, (3) increases engagement, (4) reduces no-shows, and (5) provides a new lens for understanding the family’s homelife. They will conclude with recommendations for “promising practices” in providing tele-mental health care to young children and families.
