Governor Glenn Youngkin is committed to increasing youth access to mental health services and supports. The governor’s Right Help, Right Now Behavioral Health plan for the Commonwealth forms the foundation for a transformative approach to behavioral health care in Virginia. As part of his Youth Mental Health Strategy, Governor Glenn Youngkin’s goal is to increase access to mental health service delivery through telehealth, which will address the needs of our most vulnerable students. Telehealth means using telecommunication technology to deliver professional counseling services remotely to assess, diagnose, and treat behavioral health conditions. Telehealth services can include prevention, diagnosis, treatment, management, health education, linkages, referrals, and care coordination.
