COVID-19 RESOURCES
HOME > COVID-19 RESOURCES
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to unfold, psychologists will be called upon to play an important role in serving the public. To help in preparing, we have compiled a list of resources that may be of assistance. For many of us, shifting into telehealth as a service modality may be novel, and so, we have collected the following resources to aid in navigating that process. We will update this list on an ongoing basis in order to provide the latest information available. Please feel free to check back frequently.
