The New Canvas: Telemental Health Tiffany Chhuom, MSW, MPH, CDP-T, LSWAIC Heather Spooner, MA, ATR-BC More than ever, Seattle showcases progressive art in digital spaces while bringing technology and healthcare to new frontiers. How do these two worlds, of Art Therapy and Telemental Health, intersect creatively and ethically? When emoji’s aid emotional processing, Alexa supports speech therapy, and virtual reality confronts phobias, we’re all learning new things for the first time. While this new frontier of digital health offers a fresh canvas for expression, it also presents greater challenges and opportunities to our field. The added benefits and increased access to services of telemental health come at what cost? The Evergreen Art Therapy Association invites you to join us in this dialogue, as we explore the definition of telemental health, creative intersections of Art Therapy and cyberspace, and present ethical challenges of maintaining two worlds as they integrate. Tiffany Chhuom, MSW, MPH, CDP-T, LSWAIC is the owner of Lucy in the Sky Therapy, an on-line private practice for neurodiverse adults. With 18 years’ experience in healthcare, she holds four degrees in four disciplines from the University of Washington and notable achievement in practice, policy, research and administration across the Public Health, Social Work, Psychology, Criminal Justice, and Child Welfare sectors. She has been honored for her commitment to survivors of sexual violence, injection drug users, and disability advocacy as Pride Scholar, Husky 100, and Mary Gates Scholar. Previously, she was the Social Media Marketing Manager for Microsoft Health and spearheaded the first electronic data sharing agreement across 20 state and federal agencies to prevent child injury in Washington State. With her recent post-graduate training at the UW’s Department of Bioethics and current roles, as both Western Washington Representative for the Washington Chapter of the National Association of Social Work and Ethics Committee member for the Washington State Society for Clinical Social Work, Tiffany is setting precedence for responsible technology adoption in healthcare. Now launching her second business, EthTech, Mrs. Chhuom aims to redefine the status quo for our digital era through education, training and thoughtful leadership.
