Incorporating Online Evidence-Based Mental Health Resources in Therapy
摘要
With the rapid expansion of online resources, accessing and incorporating online mental health information into treatment offers an easy avenue for promoting client engagement and treatment efficiency. This chapter describes recommendations and considerations to help guide mental health providers in identifying, selecting, and referring clients to information online. First, the chapter provides specific recommendations for improving the ease and actionability of incorporating resources. These recommendations include (1) compiling a list of resources, (2) matching resources to clients’ needs, (3) tailoring resources to the client, (4) assessing and addressing barriers to resource use, (5) recommending resources, (6) monitoring and evaluating resources, and (7) ensuring the sustainability of resources. Next, the chapter overviews additional considerations to aid resource evaluation and incorporation. This chapter ends by illustrating the recommendations and considerations with a case study.
