Professional Training Library Significantly
Expanded to 100+ Courses with Addition of SimplePractice Learning
Catalog
Concurrently, Introduces Mental Health
Literacy Content for Practitioners' Clients and Patients
NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nearly 25 percent of the U.S.
adult population experiences a mental illness each year, yet many
people don't know how to recognize and manage symptoms or get the
help they need. In short, mental health literacy is an ongoing
challenge. While significant progress has been made in improving
mental health care, the needs of today's mental health consumers
are growing and evolving. Forward-thinking practitioners empowered
with actionable training and practical client-facing tools will be
better equipped to help their clients and patients achieve
impactful outcomes.
Psych Hub is pleased to announce it has launched a new Mental
Health Learning Platform consisting of two key elements. First, its
Professional Training library has been significantly expanded to
100+ courses with the acquisition of the SimplePractice Learning
course catalog. SimplePractice is an industry leader supporting
behavioral health clinicians through software, education, and
powerful tools that connect them to clients seeking care. This move
enables Psych Hub, one of the industry's most respected providers
of learning content, to be even better positioned to meet the
expanding continuing education and licensure needs of today's
mental health practitioners. The addition of the SimplePractice
Learning content augments Psych Hub's courses to help practitioners
learn how to support marginalized and under-represented
communities, learn evidence-based practices for common conditions
such as OCD, ADHD and eating disorders, and maintain required
continuing education for ethics and supervision.
"Continuing education is vital in the mental health field, and
we are immensely proud to see SimplePractice Learning's content on
Psych Hub," said Jonathan Seltzer,
CEO of SimplePractice. "Psych Hub will continue our commitment to
delivering evidence-based and actionable educational resources to
all."
Psych Hub's Professional Training includes self-paced
educational paths to help mental health practitioners build
competency in evidence-based modalities and specialize their
practices in high-demand areas of need. Additionally, the platform
includes coursework in practitioner-specific professional
development and practice management and meets the majority of
continuing education requirements for most licensed mental health
professionals.
Concurrent with its Professional Training library expansion, the
company has launched the second component of its new Mental Health
Learning Platform, the Client & Patient Resources module, an
on-demand collection of consumer-focused mental health literacy
content, enabling practitioners to seamlessly provide
psychoeducational videos and other content from the Psych Hub
platform to support a client or patient's evidence-based care
journey. These curated Client & Patient Resources offer
clinically sound, culturally responsive information to help build
general mental health knowledge and are easy for providers to share
with their clients and patients to complement therapy, reinforce
support and coping techniques, and foster active participation in
evidence-based treatment between sessions.
"There is a growing need for mental health providers who can
deliver specialized evidence-based care," said Scott Healy, chief executive officer at Psych
Hub. "This platform expansion furthers Psych Hub's leadership role
in providing practitioners with high-quality and engaging
evidence-based mental health training, while now also providing
patient-focused tools to help them deliver more impactful and
accessible care."
By pairing Professional Training for providers with shareable
Client & Patient Resources in a single platform, Psych Hub is
empowering practitioners with a purposeful combination of tools to
help improve mental health and well-being for everyone.
Evidence-based intervention, when combined
with psychoeducational learning and "homework" for therapy
participants, is proven to deliver better outcomes, more quickly.
Psych Hub helps overcome some of the biggest hurdles to using this
ideal combination by serving as the single source for targeted,
engaging training for practitioners and content for client and
patient education. The thoughtfully designed Mental Health Learning
Platform takes the burden off the practitioner, making it easy to
integrate evidence-based mental health care into clinical practice
and improve mental health literacy with technology-enabled
learning.
