Mission Statement
The Virginia Telemental Health Initiative (VTMHI) is a pilot program that aims to expand access to timely and appropriate telemental health services to Virginians with lower incomes, who are medically underserved and who are un- or under-insured by collaborating with behavioral and mental health professionals in the process of meeting their licensure requirements. Through education and support to providers, free clinics and stakeholders, VTMHI will enhance access to mental health care for those who need it, while also bolstering the Commonwealth’s telemental health workforce.
