REGISTRATION IS CLOSED

Speakers: Dr. Jeane Bosch & Dr. Natalia Escobar Walsh

Given the potential broad reach of mobile mental health apps and other digital resources, the National Center for PTSD, under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), has developed a suite of free, publicly available mobile mental health apps and online programs designed to support those with mental health needs such as PTSD and other related concerns.
This introductory course will provide an overview of VA mobile mental health apps as well as a comprehensive review of the rationale for incorporating mobile apps into various points of care. Presenters will also offer live demonstrations of the self-care apps and review basic functions of several treatment companion apps (e.g., CPT Coach, PE Coach, CBT-I Coach). Current research and the latest clinical developments in the use of a mobile applications for self-care and the enhancement of clinical care, especially in the context of telehealth will also be reviewed. Participants will gain knowledge regarding the various steps to clinical integration of mobile apps into treatment, which will include a discussion about privacy and security concerns, as well as ethical and cultural considerations.


1.  Describe the basic components of NCPTSD’s self-care and treatment companion mobile apps
2.   Describe the empirical support for the integration of mobile apps in mental health treatment and self-management of symptoms.
3.    Identify 3 considerations related to client preferences and cultural differences when integrating mobile apps into treatment
