Zoom / Free and Open to the Behavioral Health Ecosystem
“As the scope of the current disaster becomes evident across the nation, mental health professionals everywhere will need all the help they can get,” says Trevor Colhoun, CEO of Trusted Provider Network. “TPN.Health hopes to provide a forum for clinicians from the frontlines to share best practices with the public as we enter a new stage of the pandemic.”
Through TPN.Health’s network, users can easily search the clinician and treatment provider database to locate the best fit for their patient’s needs, attract new clients based on their own scope of practice and expertise, showcase their knowledge through research articles and other published content, and receive endorsements and recognition for their accreditations. As traditional in-person networking opportunities are placed on hold, clinicians must search elsewhere to connect and find the correct treatment for their patients.
TPN.Health welcomes social workers, therapists, nurses, psychiatrists, doctors, verified court advocates, and current graduate students to join with a limited-time membership offer. Earlier this month the network announced its membership expansion to verified clinicians in Mississippi and Texas and will feature additional rounds of online CEUs related to telecounseling and telemental health for its members.
