Overview
As technology is ever-present in today’s world, mental performance consultants can choose to “go digital” by offering their services online.

The presenters will offer insights into their non-clinical, online work with individuals, small groups, and teams. This will include sharing technology they use, discussing benefits and challenges of working with clients virtually, highlighting ethical considerations based on AASP's Ethics Code, providing recommendations for consulting digitally and suggestions for next steps for those interested in offering online consulting services.

  • Learn what technology is available to facilitate online mental performance consulting
