Benefits of School-Based Telepsychiatry

Good mental health is critical to children’s success in school and at home. According the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, one in five children and adolescents experience a mental health problem during their school years. Examples include bullying, stress, learning disability, family issues, and alcohol and substance abuse. Unfortunately, serious mental health problems are on the rise and it is estimated that up to 60% of students do not receive adequate mental health treatment due to stigma and lack of access.

Implementing school-based telepsychiatry programs can provide routine mental health care to students of all ages. School-based telepsychiatry reduces parents’ work leave, decreases absences from school, and increases attendance at psychiatry appointments. School-based virtual treatment also helps to build a collaborative team among psychiatrists, educational staff, parents, and youth, enabling a better chance of success at school and at home.
