Online Therapy Institute Social Network

Social Network for Members and Friends of OTI!

These past couple of weeks have been very busy! Kate Anthony and Stephen Goss presented in Amsterdam at the E-Mental Health Summit on the ethics of online therapy. They discussed the BACP ethical guidelines for online counselling and supervision as well as OTI's Ethical Framework for the use of Technology in Mental Health. Kate and I also presented a poster session entitled Ethical Implications for Therapists Who Work and Socialize in Cyberspace.

During the same week as the E-Mental Health Summit I presented at the International Therapist Leadership Institute's Practice Building Conference on the topic of Online Therapy. This was a virtual teleseminar that offered the opportunity for me to speak for an hour about a few of the talking points of online therapy.

Monday I traveled to Dallas to present a day-long pre-conference training on Tuesday at the EAPA World Conference. The training was titled the same as the poster session we presented in Amsterdam but we were able to review many more ethical scenarios in the day-long workshop. It was a great opportunity to network and meet people I already knew virtually. Marina London, webmaster for EAPA and blogger at IWebU has created an EAPA Conference Blog and that conference is still in progress. I was also able to share a quick cup of coffee with Mark Goldenson of Breakthrough.com.

Truly, it has been a bit of a whirlwind~ sharing, gathering, teaching, learning!

We used Twitter hashtags for the E-Mental Health Summit (#ESummit) and the Practice Building Conference (#PBC2009). The full tweets for each can be found here:

I hope everyone is having a lovely fall day!

I was recently interviewed by the Stars and Stripes regarding online counseling and the article entitled Tricare Programs Offer Online Counseling posted last week.  Some of you may know that Tricare is offering online services now with a pilot program called TRIAP in which military and their family members can obtain assistance online via [...]

Internet Safety for your Teen

It is through tragedy that we are privy to such a wonderful collection of tips and information. Kristin met a sexual predator online [...]

How Long is Too Long in the Front Lines?

I recently had a conversation with a colleague who said she just couldn’t find her “calling.” She is a counselor and she knows she was led to help people but she feels she is called to deeply fulfill her vocation- she just doesn’t know what or how. She told me about her jobs [...]
