Greetings,

DCoE is proud to announce a new monthly webinar series for FY15.  These webinars will be led by DCoE’s component Center, the National Center for Telehealth & Technology (T2) and will highlight specific technologies, as well as address various methods and techniques to better integrate these and technologies into clinical practice. These webinars will be hosted by experienced clinicians who are leading the efforts in innovating methods of clinical care.

October 16, 2014 marks the kick-off date for the T2 Webinar Series, which will include monthly webinars, with the first to occur titled “Integration of Virtual Hope Box Mobile Application into Clinical Care” with T2’s Nigel Bush, Ph.D. and Amanda Stewart, Ph.D. as presenters, and Robert Ciulla, Ph.D. as moderator.  The T2 Webinar Series is a part of DCoE’s Webinar Series (http://www.dcoe.mil/Training/MonthlyWebinars.aspx).  Read down for the registration information.

The webinars are open to the public and are intended for health care providers, residents and interns, researchers, academicians, scientists, service members, families, veterans, DoD services and agencies and other DoD partners, such as Department of Veterans Affairs.  Many of these webinars will also provide continuing education credit.

The T2 Webinar Series is a part of the T2 Behavioral Health Technology Education & Training Program (T2 E&T) which provides education and training to the clinicians, residents and interns on the integration of behavioral health technology into psychological health and traumatic brain injury clinical care.   In addition to the T2 Webinar Series, T2 E&T provides face to face workshops, outreach events and provider training resources.

Title: Integration of a Virtual Hope Box Mobile Application into Clinical Care
Date/Time: October 16, 2014, 1-2:30 p.m. (EDT)

Overview
Several behavioral health treatments have proven useful for patients who feel hopeless and may be considering suicide or self-harm. One tool used by providers is the “hope box”. Therapists suggest that their patients fill a shoe box (or other container) with items that remind them of why their life is worth living, such as supportive letters from loved ones, their favorite music CDs, photos, reminders of their accomplishments, or a list of things they want to do.
However, since such a box is awkward to carry, it may not always be handy when a patient needs it most. Using the principles of the original hope box, a smartphone app was created called the “Virtual Hope Box” (VHB). As with its namesake, patients choose items, but the “container” is more portable and more private—and it’s always with them. Patients can also add more-accessible types of content like music files and video files.

This webinar is designed to get the word out about Virtual Hope Box to clinicians, and show how smartphone apps can empower and engage patients in their own care.

During this webinar, participants will learn to:
•       Describe the social paradigm shift to mobile health among younger service members.
•       Articulate the potential benefits of mobile personal technologies as accessories to behavioral health treatment.
•       Examine the value of clinical involvement in patient use of health related smartphone apps.
•       Incorporate key principles behind hope box use in clinical therapy.
