The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated behavioral health needs in the United States, resulting in a pivot to telehealth services for mental health and substance use services to fill gaps in care. Even now, providers continue to grapple with the implications.
In 2022, BBS partnered with the National Council for Mental Wellbeing on the report: Innovations in Telehealth in Behavioral Health During COVID-19.
Funded by the California Health Care Foundation and developed for mental health and substance use treatment providers, this report explores the implications of the rapid adoption of telebehavioral health services during COVID-19, including successes, challenges, innovations and future considerations.
