Technology-Enhanced Teleconsultation to Support K-12 Mental Health Across MTSS Tiers in Rural and Underserved Schools

Underserved K–12 schools often face limited access to school-based mental health professionals. Educators in the areas constantly face stress and difficulties supporting students’mental health. Recently, researchers have been evaluating the utility of technology in reaching more students and educators who need support, especially since the COVID-19. Teleconsultation was an effective tool that helps support educators and students based on my personal consultation experiences. This paper reflects on my experiences providing mental health consultation across the underserved schools. More specifically, the paper included on how to utilize digital tools in practical ways (e.g., video conferencing, shared resource hubs, video modeling, remote observation systems, digital data platforms, and online therapy) to strengthen collaboration and continuity across three tiers of MTSS. Key recommendations include flexibility in using technology in engaging in core mental health support and ethical concerns. School mental health professionals, educators, and policymakers can be benefited from utilizing strategies described in the paper.
