An Initial Outreach Support Services Session, Integrating Mediation and Telehealth
In an introductory session, you get the opportunity to recognise your individual strengths and reflect on past and present experiences. Accordingly, you are provided with chances to converse about the requirements to alleviate stress and anxiety in your present circumstances. Additionally, you can assess and enhance your communication abilities. Chiefly, these are vital for engaging with coworkers, managers, superiors, companies, and various interest groups. Moreover, you can engage in a session, for example, by:
- Exploring and learning how to recognise and create your personal style to address stress;
- Discussing approaches and theories linked to the interrelationship between personal and social development;
- Considering the critical meaning of concepts, principles, and terms linked to stress management; and,
- Identifying obstacles to effective stress reduction.
While telehealth provides many benefits, such as convenience and accessibility, it’s also important to be aware of its potential drawbacks. We delve into these considerations, exploring both current challenges and future implications, to help you make informed decisions about your care.
What are Telehealth Support ServiceS Disadvantages?
Helping professionals face challenges maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of messages generated through computer-mediated communication. Fenichel (2002) suggested that telehealth may not be appropriate for clients who experience “extreme psychopathology.” Furthermore, Fenichel (2002) and Barak (2000) referred to other disadvantages of telehealth, including lack of face-to-face communication. However, the potential of telehealth interventions to support professionals in their interactions with people in various life contexts remains to be fully explored. Furthermore, delving deeper into the perspectives of healthcare providers and clients on telehealth. For example, you may uncover and assess significant insights and information through methodologies, such as, phenomenology. A central concern in phenomenology is the manner in which life manifests itself, how you perceive it, and the significance you gain from these experiences.
