Share
Marshall University’s departments of counseling, psychology, school psychology and social work, have launched a new interdisciplinary Telebehavioral Health Microcredential course, designed to prepare behavioral health students and professionals with the skills, standards and strategies needed to deliver effective behavioral health services in various virtual settings.

The virtual, on-demand program is offered at no cost, providing 10 contact hours of training. The course is Board Certified–Telemental Health (BC-TMH) approved and is delivered in an asynchronous format for flexible access. The course is supported by a U.S. Department of Labor – Employment and Training Administration grant, administered by the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission (WVHEPC).

“This program strengthens the ability of mental health professionals to meet clients where they are — whether in schools, homes or other integrated care settings,” said Dr. Eric Beeson, professor and chair of Marshall’s Counseling Department. “We are proud to provide high-quality, accessible training that advances both professional practice and community care.”

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
• Identify and apply ethical, legal and regulatory standards relevant to telebehavioral health
• Design culturally responsive protocols for engaging clients in virtual settings
• Demonstrate strategies for effective session preparation, facilitation and assessment
• Analyze complex ethical dilemmas and clinical scenarios specific to telebehavioral health

Marshall University is qualified by the Center for Credentialing & Education, Inc. (CCE) as a Registered Credential Training Provider. This qualification allows Marshall to offer courses eligible for credit toward the Board Certified-Telemental Health (BC-TMH) Credential.

The total cost to create this Telebehavioral Health Microcredential program was $14,590. The entire cost is 100% funded through a U.S. Department of Labor – Employment and Training Administration grant managed by WVHEPC.
