Telemental health in a world on edge with Dr. Sonyia Richardson, Matthew Mills, and Erica Gregory

Mental health providers have moved online. But what's working, and what do we need to work on to improve telemental health practice? We invited Dr. Sonyia Richardson, Owner of Another Level Counseling and Consultation and Assistant Professor at UNC Charlotte School of Social Work, along with clinician Matthew Mills to share their experiences using telemental health tools in their practice with clients of color. They also discuss the death of Gregory Floyd and the collective trauma caused by systemic racism from a mental health lens, sharing strategies for engaging in conversations about race and racism in practice settings. For our second interview, we invited Erica Gregory, Owner and Clinical Director at John’s Creek and Alpharetta Counseling for Children and Adults, to share about the work she has done to adapt her practice through social distancing to meet the needs of the clients she serves. Erica also talks about how the pandemic affects the mental health of families and children, and how her organization is finding innovative ways to provide mental health services to first responders, medical professionals, and individuals who have lost employment.
