About the Course

Digital media and resources, such as email, smartphone/tablet ap­plications (apps), online forums, Web sites, DVDs, CD-ROMs, blogs, computer software, online social networks, telephone and tele-video communication, and mobile devices are becoming univer­sal in our culture. The use of electronic media and information technologies in behavioral health treatment, recovery support, and prevention programs is rapidly gaining acceptance. Technology-based assessments and interventions are important therapeutic tools that clinicians can integrate into their work with clients. This course uses vignettes to demonstrate the application of these new technologies and discusses pitfalls and problems.

This course is based on the article, Using Technology-Based Therapeutic Tools in Behavioral Health Services-A Practical Guide for the Provision of Behavioral Health Services created by SAMHSA in 2015.
