On December 9th and 10th, 2020, international colleagues from across the healthcare community will gather to attend an online conference on virtual solutions for substance use care.

The COVID-19 pandemic proved that a lot of medicine can be delivered virtually. A lot of sentiments were corrected and a lot of anxieties were proven wrong. Online resources can help to build capacity and provide better access to patients who need care and can’t get it. Web-based systems can help to better organize clinical pathways and provide additional tools, which are giving access to psychotherapy and expertise beyond the current system.

This conference will provide a good overview of the core elements of virtual mental health care given by international colleagues. From online prevention to psychotherapy and from risk assessment and management to virtual clinics.
