As provider organizations rapidly shift to telehealth services to accommodate social distancing, there is a great deal of anxiety and uncertainty around best practices for engaging clients via these mediums. The fact of the matter is, telehealth services have long been recommended for enhancing client access to treatment, and have been demonstrated effective in doing so. Thus, in responding to this unprecedented crisis, providers have a very unique opportunity to learn how to effectively engage clients using telehealth technologies. The goal(s) of our work remain the same no matter the means of connection: in-person, over the telephone or via videoconference.
