The current state of telepractice in forensic mental health
About
The use of telecommunication technologies for psychological services has increased substantially in recent years, particularly following the novel coronavirus pandemic. However, forensic mental health settings present unique challenges. In this seminar, we’ll discuss the potential benefits of using telepractice with forensic populations, current research and remaining gaps in knowledge regarding forensic telepractice, and recommendations for using telepractice for forensic service delivery.The primary aims of this workshop are to (1) help attendees anticipate challenges when coordinating and communicating remotely with courts, legal system participants, and institutional administrators and (2) more effectively adapt forensic mental health practices to virtual environments.
This online workshop will be facilitated by Ashley Batastini, Associate Professor of Forensic Psychology at the Centre for Forensic Behavioural Science.
