Reply to comment by ICantThinkOfANameBud in NYC promises telehealth for all high school students struggling with mental health by greenhousecrtv
Another very subtle thing one may not consider, is that to complement your point of the virtual visit, you as a client are potentially in a much more comfortable space that you are familiar with. For some, the process of commuting to see a specialist can be stressful, in contrast to doing a video call where you can prepare yourself at your comfort level, environment(s), and conditions.
Obviously different strokes and preferences for different folks, though giving people options versus outright-nothing are steps in the right direction!

On that note, students might not have their own room or private quiet space at home where they can feel safe discussing personal issues. I haven't read the article, but hopefully the schools can provide an area for this.
