>From what I can gather from our own Dept of health site- we have emergency licensing that you can apply for during this time period for our state.  So- find out where the student is located and go to their state department of health licensing pages and see if you can get a temporary emergency license there.  See if your school will pay for it.  Otherwise, you can only provide them advising, not counseling or therapy, as I understand it.

Hello, Colleauges,

Recently our dean reached out to us to ask if we are providing telemental health services to our students who may be currently in states other than Washington.  We let him know about the restrictions of our licenses and what was presented during our Telemental Health training, which prevent us from providing services to students who are physically in other states.  We're hoping to get additional thoughts from others to see how you all are approaching work with these students at your institution.

Thanks for any input,


Matthew Cullen, LICSW, MEd
