Telebehavioral Health Practice
Telebehavioral Health Practice Graduate Certificate
Telehealth has the potential to connect people to specialized behavioral health providers regardless of their geographic location. According to the Georgia Health Policy Center, of the rural residents who have received telehealth services, 14% say they would “not have sought care at all” if telehealth had not been made available to them.
Given the rising demand, accessibility and effectiveness of telebehavioral services, service providers must be prepared to respond to this need. The graduate certificate in Telebehavioral Health Practice prepares students by enhancing their understanding and skills relevant to telebehavioral practice.
