Innovations in Telehealth and Digital Mental Health for Older Adults

Telehealth has transformed mental health service delivery for older adults, offering expanded access to care for homebound seniors, rural populations, and those with mobility limitations. However, successfully implementing telehealth with older adult populations requires specialized knowledge and skills that differ from serving younger, more tech-savvy clients.

As part of our Medicare webinar implementation series, NBCC—in collaboration with the Medicare Mental Health Workforce Coalition—is proud to present Innovations in Telehealth and Digital Mental Health for Older Adults on Feb. 5, 2026, from noon to 1:30 pm EST.

This 90-minute comprehensive webinar provides mental health providers with practical strategies for adapting clinical techniques for virtual delivery with older adults.

After this webinar, participants will be able to:

assess older adults’ readiness for telehealth and identify strategies to address common barriers.
adapt clinical assessment and intervention techniques.
navigate Medicare coverage requirements, billing procedures, and compliance.
implement appropriate safety planning and crisis intervention protocols.
involve family members and caregivers in telehealth sessions.
address cognitive and sensory impairments that may impact telehealth engagement.
design hybrid care models.
select appropriate telehealth platforms and ensure HIPAA compliance.

Continuing education of 1.5 credit hours is available for those who attend the live webinar.

Learn more about our presenters Michael Jones, PhD, NCC, BC-TMH, LPC-S and Matthew Fullen, PhD, LPCC.

This webinar is designed for Mental Health Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists, Clinical Social Workers, community mental health center staff, health plan care managers, behavioral health coordinators, and any mental health professional interested in expanding telehealth competency with older adults.
