Digital Mental Health Musings

How digital mental health can help strengthen client-practitioner relationships: On the Ground with Dr Bianca Cannon

eMHPrac Season 4 Episode 6

“I think really it’s just another tool in your suite of tools you can use as a clinician.”

General Practitioner Dr Bianca Cannon shares her journey using digital mental health with clients and what happens when we challenge the fears we might have around incorporating digital tools into practice.

In this episode Dr Cannon talks about the techniques and skills that health professionals already have to help their clients get the greatest benefit from digital mental health. We discuss the role that motivational interviewing plays when it comes to selecting the right candidates for digital mental health interventions and Dr Cannon steps us through exactly how she incorporates programs like THIS WAY UP into her practice using a blended care model approach.
