ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
In this digital age, mental health and substance abuse professionals are rapidly
adopting the utilization of technology to enhance services. The breadth of
Technology Assisted Care (TAC) covers documentation, outreach, engagement,
social media, and cyber services. The purpose of this workshop is to disseminate the TAC practices and lessons learned from a Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) grant awarded to ECU to deploy a
mobile mental health clinic to serve homeless Veterans in rural eastern North
Carolina. Attendees will learn the applicable results from this grant that may be
utilized in their current practice, thus enabling them to serve their clients with a
variety of methods for best practice/experience.
