ONLINE EVENT: Extending the Reach of Clinical Services: Tele-Health and Social Work
What’s a social worker doing…offering tele-behavioral therapy/counseling to their clients?
Join us for a lively discussion of the impact, both actual and potential, of digital disruption on existing models of clinical practice, with two members of the clinical community at the Columbia School of Social Work. Does technology hinder or facilitate client-practitioner interaction? Does it supplement therapeutic care or replace it? Is it secure? And can it actually enhance a therapist’s ability to help clients change their lives? These are just a few of the questions our experts will address.
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; REGISTRATION REQUIRED! REGISTER HERE.
1 CEU available for licensed social workers (nominal fee)*
About the speakers
A 2007 graduate from the Columbia School of Social Work, Amelia Ortega is now a lecturer for its online campus, teaching courses on human behavior. She also works as a clinician providing trauma informed psychotherapy for Latinx individuals, families and couples. Amelia utilizes technology to facilitate both the instruction of online courses and also in her clinical practice. She is constantly exploring the potential for technology to lower barriers for accessing therapy and other mental health support systems. For more information, please see Professor Ortega’s CSSW bio. Also please visit her psychotherapy practice site.
Elisabeth (Beth) Counselman-Carpenter, LCSW, PhD, is a full-time professor of clinical practice at Columbia School of Social Work, teaching courses on (among other topics) clinical interventions, evaluation, and the application of risk and resilience theories and research to at-risk populations. This past semester, with the help of a grant from the Provost’s Office, Counselman-Carpenter developed a “flipped classroom” model for Advanced Clinical Practice with Children and Families, for which her students designed innovative technologies for their final projects. In addition to her role as educator, she has her own private practice, providing individual, group, and family therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. For more information, please see Professor Counselman-Carpenter’s CSSW bio.
