Telepsychiatry in Schools
Whereas adults go into the workplace most days – a kid’s job is to work hard to earn an education in school. It is quite disruptive to a child’s education to frequently leave school to attend regular therapy sessions and mental health evaluations. Having a clinician that is familiar with a child readily available in the school setting can often stop disruptive behaviors from escalating and can provide a good resource for your teachers on how to appropriately manage your more trying students.
We are able to work with your organization to develop a cost-conscious mental health program to benefit your children and teachers. If you’d like to learn more about the services we can offer your school, please contact us!
Other Services
We want to help people where they’re most comfortable – close to home and in a familiar setting. Iris Telehealth has experience providing outpatient telepsychiatry services in a variety of settings including community mental health centers and primary care offices.
Whether in the emergency room or on an inpatient unit, our clinicians can typically respond to a consult request in under an hour which allows for the timely assessment, treatment, and disposition of each patient. This improves care and decreases costs associated with psychiatric holds in the ER and unnecessary hospital transfers.
We are able to provide critical services in settings such as nursing homes, schools, correctional facilities, and substance abuse treatment centers. We know that logistical issues make frequent long-distance trips to the closest available clinician inconvenient, costly, and potentially dangerous. By developing a telemedicine solution for you, Iris can provide on-site mental health evaluations where and when they are needed. This allows quality care to be delivered under your roof and on your own schedule.
Iris Telehealth’s telemedicine services can be used on a locum tenens basis to fill temporary staff shortages while you search for a permanent addition to your team. With our locum tenens psychiatry, you never have to settle for a mediocre solution, or compromise the level of care you offer your clients. We connect you with a team of skilled practitioners who can provide compassionate care and a full range of psychiatric services via video conference. Learn more>>
