I just found your channel! Im completing my MSW Internship now. This was such a good video! Gracias

[@TheNurseDoc]

Great video Meyleen. As a fellow tele-health practitioner for over 4 years, it’s been an experience learning the do’s and donts. Glad to be in a group of fellow practitioners.

[@henrythomas7112]

Thank you a lot for this video. This is very interesting and informative. Keep posting like those amazing videos, this is awesome.

[@MeyleenVelasquez]

Thank you! More to come soon!

I was a teen who loved using heromachine for character design and now as an adult therapist I can use it to connect with my clients! What a lovely idea!

[@MeyleenVelasquez]

Thank you for your comment. What a special connection to the intervention! :)

[@melindahibbard2257]

Thank you so much for your telehealth tips in working with children. Like the rest of us, I was thrown into telehealth therapy and just trying to figure out how to transition from in person therapy. It is different. It does require more preparation and work on the part of the therapist to keep the child engaged in session.

[@MeyleenVelasquez]

Hi, thank you for your comment. It has been a lot for many of us with a lot more preparation & less time to prepare for those who are parents caring for children at home. Hope these videos are useful to you in your work!

I am a sexual trauma counselor and doing telehealth. These tips are so helpful and I am definitely going to use these for some of my kiddos. Thanks so much for making this video.

Hello Ms. Velasquez. Thank you for your time and tips with this video. I'm taking a Telehealth course through NASW and found your video helpful. Thanks again.

[@MeyleenVelasquez]

Hi! Thank you so much for your feedback. I am glad it was helpful to you

[@UnderstandingChildren]

So well explained!! I have subscribed and waiting for more techniques especially with teens.

[@MeyleenVelasquez]

Thank you so much!! More videos coming soon!

[@eliz4micor]

Mayleen, I truly LOVE the "Family Hand" activity. In fact, this very evening, I will be conducting a Zoom-Based Family Therapy Session that I was truly wondering what in the world I could do to engage them. This is a three-person family where the mom remarried and now the boy has a stepdad. Their relationship was good before his mom married this guy, but now, it's very strained. My guess is that the stepdad is now trying to feel more like a father and the boy is still looking for his playmate. Anyhoo, I love this activity. Please send more!!!

[@MeyleenVelasquez]

Thank you!

[@erinsisk8738]

This is great. I am a therapist and trying to do research to support my team on how to impactfully do therapy remotely. Unfortunately we are limited to phone sessions. Any additional strategies you have would be greatly appreciated during this tough time.

[@MeyleenVelasquez]

Thank you for your message & I am glad you found these strategies helpful. Phone sessions can be tough, especially with children! I am planning on creating some more resources to post by Monday. Feel free to let me know what age groups your team is working with and I can include some options. You can also email me at [e-mail]

Please provide some resources to treat PreK children through phone conference as well as through telehealth.

[@MeyleenVelasquez]

@@Devoted816 Hi, thank you for your comment! I try not to do telehealth alone with children 0-4, mainly because most of my work is relationship-based. I will include some dyadic strategies to support infant mental health work via video & add ideas for dyadic phone sessions.

[@humanservices26]

Good morning Is there a resource for me to have a virtual coloring sessions with my client who living with ADHD for virtual color therapy. For example we can have a coloring session like touching the screen as we talk.

[@MeyleenVelasquez]

Hi, thank you for your question. I don't have a lot of experience in the treatment of ADHD, but for what you are asking, I can suggest trying screen sharing and maybe coloring on the program "paint." You can also try a mindful coloring page and have the client create a journey for each color to process the way they are feeling. I have a mindful coloring page I created that I can share with you if you'd like. Feel free to email me.

[@kimberlinleon9600]

What ages would you recommend the squiggle game and drawing a hero activity for?

[@MeyleenVelasquez]

I would say you can do both of the activities with children ages 4 and up. You will want to give directives that are age-appropriate "sillier" for younger children and more "down to earth" for teens.
