In our first episode of the new season, respected child and adolescent psychologist Dr Lyn O’Grady talks about her experiences using digital mental health with clients and their families. She shares her tips on when to introduce digital tools and services, what apps to start with, how to help clients get the most out of evidence-based products in sessions and on their own between sessions, and how to be authentic about the digital tools you recommend.
