Name and fully explain three ways that mental health care can cross (or has already crossed) the "digital divide." Why is it important for this to occur for the future of mental health treatment?
What will be an ideal response?
Providing mental health information via the Internet and social media platforms such as Facebook can enhance the self-help capacity of young people. Smartphone applications that can help improve some mental health habits also exist. Computer-mediated activities such as e-counseling and e-therapy can also be used in treatment for people who are comfortable with digital technology and the Internet. Some treatment approaches can be applied even better in virtual environments, such as exposure-based therapies, which are efficacious for many phobia and PTSD issues. Other options involve using avatars or Comic Chat, now called Microsoft Chat 2.5, which allows players to take on the role of a character in a comic strip. Many people find support and information through peer-support sites, where people who share similar diagnoses can compare notes. However, it is important for mental health professionals, including social workers, to become comfortable with online media as well so their knowledge and experience can help inform people with mental health concerns.
