Transitioning to telehealth during COVID-19: Challenges and opportunities for trauma-focused school psychology.

“…Consensus has grown that training school psychologists in telehealth has the potential to move evidence-based practices more effectively into schools and communities that have struggled with access. Restricting training activities to in person seemed limiting in retrospect, especially as data about the effectiveness of teleservice provision and telesupervision have become available (Rowen et al, 2023; Thompson et al, 2023). We get to choose what we keep from this time of experimentation and innovation, and I am excited to see what new horizons these changes will open up for health service psychology.…”

Implementing Efficient Systems to Monitor Competency-Based Supervision in Rural Psychology Training Programs

“…Although telesupervision shows promise in increasing access to mental health care via data supporting equivalence between in-person and telehealth modalities (Jordan & Shearer, 2019;Tarlow et al, 2020;Thompson et al, 2023), the majority of literature thus far has primarily focused on trainee perspectives (Bernhard & Camins, 2021;Ferriby Ferber et al, 2021;Inman et al, 2019;Jordan & Shearer, 2019;Soheilian et al, 2023;Stein et al, 2023;Tarlow et al, 2020;Thompson et al, 2023) with few examinations of perspectives of supervisors (Martin et al, 2022) or of training directors (Frye et al, 2021). Also, satisfaction and supervisory alliance have been the primary variables of interest (Bernhard & Camins, 2021;Inman et al, 2019;Jordan & Shearer, 2019;Schmittel et al, 2023;Soheilian et al, 2023;Tarlow et al, 2020;Thompson et al, 2023). The expanded use of telesupervision and emerging literature base highlights the need for the examination of supervision quality as the modalities of supervision are further diversified via technology.…”

Online supervision during COVID-19: Supervisor’s perspective during a time of crisis.

“…Many supervisors in this study said that it was just as effective as face-to-face, and they would continue to use it after COVID-19 is gone. Although the pandemic motivated us to use telesupervision as an alternative, it is likely to maintain its popularity considering its time efficiency and the elimination of physical barriers for patients who also find teletherapy valuable (Thompson et al, 2023).…”
