    TeleBehavioral Health Webinar, Friday, January 17, 2025

    NRTRC

    The NRTRC partners with the University of Washington, Harborview Behavioral Health Institute, to offer the 2025 TeleBehavioral Health Training Series.

    Burnout & Telemental Health: Reconnecting to Ourselves While Connecting to Others

    NRTRC and Harborview Behavioral Health Institute are pleased to continue to offer the TeleBehavioral Health Training Series in 2025.

    Please join us on Friday, January 17, from 11 a.m.-12 p.m. (PT) for our first TeleBehavioral Health CME/CEU-accredited 2025 series presentation.

    Overview:

    Burnout is ubiquitous in all aspects of healthcare delivery, but telemental health has its own unique challenges. Technology allows us to rapidly connect with patients anywhere in the country, and yet technology also can, paradoxically, isolate us (working from home, without colleagues), emotionally distance us from others (limiting emotional and non-verbal communication), and make us more sedentary and disconnected from our bodies. This talk will explore ways of mitigating telemental health burnout through enhancing human connection with ourselves and with patients by using whole health principles developed by the US Department of Veterans Affairs.
