Free Live Virtual Training via Zoom
Andia Ruiz Payne-Narcis, MS, and Jesse W. Timmermann, MS, present a free live virtual professional training program on Unlocking Potential: How Digital Therapeutics Can Transform Your Practice.
Integrating digital therapeutics (DTx) and wellness applications into psychological practice transforms mental health care delivery. This training aims to provide clinicians with a foundational knowledge of DTx and wellness tools, emphasizing their relevance in modern therapy.
The session introduces types of DTx applications tailored to mental health, including tools designed for cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, stress reduction, and condition-specific interventions such as PTSD and depression. Special attention is given to applications that address the unique needs of marginalized populations, emphasizing culturally responsive and inclusive features. Participants will also learn practical strategies for integrating these tools into their clinical practice, including ethical considerations, evaluation methods, and ways to educate clients about their benefits.
This program equips clinicians with the knowledge to navigate and leverage these innovations, empowering them to provide equitable, inclusive, and effective mental health care. By embracing digital therapeutics and artificial intelligence (AI), psychologists can enhance their practice, improve accessibility, and stay at the forefront of the competitive mental health job market.
