3) Summary: Teletherapy: What are the Top Reasons to Try Virtual Therapy or Telehealth for Mental Healthcare?

Name: Jennifer Larson Locum Leaders

Category: General

Email: query-bqif@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Locum Leaders

Deadline: 8:00 PM EST - 7 January

Query:

When the coronavirus pandemic began in 2020, many professions
pivoted to begin adding telehealth visits to their offerings, in
order to meet their patients' needs. In some cases, telehealth
was already an option, but it became much more popular when the
pandemic began.

Now, as we enter 2021, telehealth continues to be a popular
option, including telehealth for mental healthcare. We want to
explore some of the reasons that a patient might want to try
teletherapy or telehealth for their care for issues like
depression, anxiety, etc..

Providers and mental healthcare experts, what are those reasons
that a patient might want to try virtual therapy? And what are
the caveats that they should also consider?

Additionally, what perspective have you gained by providing
telehealth care to your patients that you could share with other
providers? What have you learned from the process, what works,
what have you had to tinker with, and how will you approach
telehealth going forward?

Requirements:

Please contact me through HARO or via email at
larson_jennifer@yahoo.com if you or someone you represent would
like to comment.

Query:

Hello. My name is Erik Martin and I am a reporter for HomeStyle,
a nationally syndicated home improvement/design section
published weekly in newspapers across the country (visit
https://tinyurl.com/ejmctwfeatures for samples). I'm looking to
interview DIY experts, remodelers, home improvement
professionals, interior designers, and other
professionals/experts for the following story:

Why you're more likely to DIY this year and beyond. A fresh
study by Craftsman found that 3 out of 4 Americans built up
their home improvement skills in 2020 (details at
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/3-out-of-4-americans-built-up-their-home-improvement-skills-in-2020-craftsman-builthome-survey-finds-301183479.html).
Among the report's other findings: more than 1 in 5 Americans
learned to use a drill for the first time during COVID-19; since
the onset of the pandemic, two-thirds of Americans (65%) report
their households have had more time for home improvement
projects, but most (60%) wish they had more home renovation
know-how; and for many Americans (25%), home improvement
activities have become a way to spend quality time with family.
This story will mention these and other findings and provide
commentary from experts as to why more homeowners are building
DIY skills and confidence, and how this can pave the way to
greater satisfaction with future home improvement projects.
Below is a list of questions I'm seeking answers to. I can only
accept written responses via email. My deadline is noon central,
Friday, January 8, 2021.

QUESTIONS: 1. What did you find interesting or surprising about
any of the previously mentioned study results and why? 2. Why
are homeowners more likely to increase their DIY activity in
2021 versus last year? What factors are behind these possible
trends? 3. What is it about the lingering pandemic that has
benefited homeowners and improved their DIY skills to any
extent? Are there any other factors that have led to increased
DIY home improvement activity? 4. Why is it a good idea,
overall, for homeowners to increase their home improvement
skills and aim for enhanced DIY know-how? How can this save them
money and build their confidence? 5. What can/should homeowners
be doing, specifically, at minimum to ensure they can handle at
least basic DIY home improvement/maintenance/repair tasks? What
do you recommend here and why? 6. Any other thoughts, tips, or
suggestions on this topic? 7. What is your full name, title,
company, city/state location, and email address?
