New Research Informs Policy and Practice

The sudden shift to telehealth services during the COVID-19 pandemic did not change clients’ intentions to seek counseling, finds a study of more than 52,000 young adults published in the July Journal of Counseling & Development. Although more research is needed to compare in-person with telehealth outcomes, the new results offer support for the utility of telehealth counseling and its inclusion in post-pandemic policy and counseling practice. The study also sheds light on racial/ethnic disparities in mental health and contributes to the literature on the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on the mental health of people of color.
