Video Summary
Dr. John Torres, Director of Digital Psychiatry at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, welcomes viewers to an SMI Advisor webinar on crisis management using asynchronous telehealth and apps for people with serious mental illness (SMI). The webinar is part of the Clinical Support System for Serious Mental Illness, an initiative aimed at helping clinicians implement evidence-based care for those with SMI. The webinar offers one continuing education credit for physicians, psychologists, and social workers.<br /><br />The webinar focuses on mobile mental health apps and their potential use in crisis management for people with SMI. The speaker, Emma Parrish, emphasizes the importance of evaluating the privacy policies and clinical validity of these apps before recommending them to clients. She recommends using app evaluation frameworks, such as the APA framework, to assess factors like accessibility, privacy and security, clinical foundation, engagement style, and therapeutic goal.<br /><br />Parrish highlights three crisis-related mental health apps: Stanley Brown Safety Plan App, Suicide Safety Plan, and Virtual Hope Box. She provides an overview of each app and discusses their potential applications for people with SMI. She also addresses considerations like mobile phone literacy, cognitive impairment, symptoms, and privacy concerns. Parrish advises clinicians to have open discussions with clients about app use, involve them in the decision-making process, and provide support and guidance when necessary.<br /><br />In conclusion, Parrish emphasizes the need for cautious and informed use of mental health apps in the SMI population. She recommends staying updated on the progress of studies like the Safety and Recovery Therapy (START) trial, which explores the efficacy of a mobile augmented Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) intervention for those with SMI. She also encourages clinicians to follow her on Twitter for updates and further resources. The webinar ends with a reminder of the SMI Advisor app, which provides resources, education, rating scales, and direct access to SMI experts.
