How does a mental health provider incorporate technological innovations to serve its clients, but in a responsible and sustainable way? At KidsPeace, a pilot project involving the use of Virtual Reality (VR) in the therapeutic setting may present an answer to that question.
On the latest Conversations with KidsPeace podcast, host Bob Martin talks with Jamie Chubb, director of Pennsylvania residential clinical services, about the VR project – and with her guidance takes the relaxation program for a test ride for podcast viewers. He then welcomes Kaitlin Stefanski, chair of KidsPeace’s Innovative Interventions Committee, for a discussion about how that group is working to enable KidsPeace to harness innovations like VR in its role as a leader in the mental healthcare field.
