WHAT IS TELEHEALTH?
Telehealth is defined as “the online delivery of counseling, case management, nursing and psychiatric services via live video conferencing.” Or, to put it more simply, it’s a video call with the Necco professionals in our mental health practice. Necco began offering this service so that clients who struggle with obstacles such as time, mental health stigma, or transportation can more easily maintain consistent therapeutic relationships.
THE PRIMARY BENEFITS OF TELEHEALTH
Aside from its proven equal effectiveness as a therapy treatment option, there are many other benefits to telehealth for patients seeking it out. Here are three of the best.
- Easy Access For those who live in more rural communities, live with a disability that makes travel difficult, or those who are just nervous about trying counseling for the first time, telehealth is a beneficial option. Telehealth helps clear physical, emotional, and mental hurdles towards seeking out counseling.
- Flexibility Juggling schedules can be tough. So, to have the ability to schedule an appointment, without any travel time involved and with flexible hours is a game changer. The flexibility of telehealth makes scheduling a breeze.
- Creates a Safe Environment. There's nothing quite like home field advantage. That's the edge telehealth creates for you. Instead of traveling to an unfamiliar location, you can relax in the comfort of your own home.
