The pandemic has created the need for telehealth, not only for established patients but for youth who develop problems during the crisis, and this need has been turned into an opportunity, with one provider developing a “roadmap” for establishing what it called home‐based telemental health, or HB‐TMH. Psychiatrists in Seattle, at the University of Washington, the Seattle Children's Research Institute, and Seattle Children's Hospital, report on their rapid implementation for TMH during — not after — future crises when community resources are not available.
