Center for Mental Health



The Center for Mental Health is an innovative way to access mental health services and information in this new age.



The Center is run by a Dr. Kerley who offers individual cyberthereapy. What is cybertherapy you ask? Cyberthereapy is the use of technology to provide mental health services. We thought this was an intriquing idea. Many people who need mental health services can face many barriers to assistance and can not get the treatments they need in the real world. SL gives them a virtual opportunity similar to our online learning enviroment that eliminates many of those barriers. Some questions we had included the ability of a patient to really know if they are working with a liscensed practioner, (anyone can hang a virtual sign), and what legal ethical problems might cybertherapy present (HIPPA, pt. doctor confidentiality, ect)

Overall we found the Center to be a peaceful thoughtful plaace that could provide some amazing access for people who need cybertherapy. On the Field Trip was Alice Dodge, Robn Retig, Jung Na Young and Marcus Bouma
