What’s next in post-COVID design considerations for telehealth delivery of behavioral health services?
The COVID-19 pandemic, and the subsequent economic downturn, has adversely affected the mental health of the nation. Further, it has created new barriers for people already suffering from mental illness and substance use disorders.
This phenomenon has resulted in a second public health emergency — a global mental health crisis. We continue to see an increase in mental health issues among the general population, while organizations begin to plan ahead as demands begin to elevate.
What is being done to help meet this coming surge?
A significant emphasis has been placed on telehealth to deliver care across the entire behavioral health continuum of care now, and into the future. As patients and mental health professionals become accustomed to technological advancements related to this area, the more ingrained this type of remote therapy becomes.
Due to this increased demand and wide acceptance of telemental health services, design and construction solutions need to adapt to the mass adoption of this platform. This webinar examines how behavioral health facilities can prepare for the future of mental healthcare delivery.

Many attendees of The Center for Health Design’s webinars have inquired about IDCEC approval so they can earn ASID, IIDA, and IDS CEU’s. We have looked into this and unfortunately, the cost to upload courses to IDCEC is simply too high at this time. You can still earn credit for attending our webinars by requesting a verification certificate. As of July 9, 2020, The Center for Health Design requires a CEU management fee for verification certificates for all webinars and EBD Journal Clubs. Please contact Natalie Gonzalez, Project Manager, ngonzalez@healthdesign.org.
