About the Series:
Making a Good Connection: Engaging Students and Families in School Tele-Mental Health is a three-part webinar series geared toward providers who are making the transition from in-person to telehealth services. Session content focused on practical strategies and equity concerns related to engaging children, adolescents and families using distance technology. Attendees had the opportunity to submit questions upon registration, enabling our Technology Transfer Center (TTC) Network specialists to shape their content to meet their needs. The presenters devoted the first segment of each hour-long presentation to a specific topic, then addressed attendee-submitted questions. Download the flyer for this series here.
Certificates of attendance were made available to viewers of 50% (30 minutes) or more of each live webinar. CEUs were not offered for these sessions. If you attended a session and do not receive access to your certificate of attendance by June 15, please email Jessica Gonzalez, MHTTC School Mental Health Coordinator, at [email protected].
