- Abstract
Introduction:Despite recent advancements in the development of new suicide prevention interventions, suicide rates continue to rise in the United States. As such, suicide prevention efforts must continue to focus on expanding dissemination of suicide-specific interventions. Methods:This review explores telemental health through two-way synchronous clinical video telehealth (CVT) technologies as one approach to improving access to suicide-specific interventions. Results:Studies were reviewed if (1) the modality of interest was telemental health by CVT and (2) management, assessment, or intervention of suicidal thoughts or behaviors was discussed. A total of 22 studies were included. Conclusions:Findings from the limited existing studies are synthesized, and recommendations are provided for future research, clinical, and educational advancements.
