 Improving Mental and Behavioral Health Through Telehealth

1. Mental/behavioral health utilization has stayed high throughout the pandemic. Policy makers want to know, how much of this is replacing in-person visits due to the pandemic versus increased demand?

2. What role has #telehealth played in reducing stigma and expanding access to mental health care?

3. What do you think the mix of virtual care utilization will look like for mental health?

4. How can we improve access to #tele-mental health care post-pandemic? What are some examples and early indications of successful programs?

5. Mental health providers suffer from extreme workforce shortages in many areas of the US. How can #telehealth help improve this, and what do we need to do to get there?
