Emergency Telepsych Services
Tragic events are often out of our control and can occur at any time.
Children are even at risk of possible unfortunate events happening within their school. It’s not abnormal to experience short-term anxiety following these unforeseen instances, and emotional recovery is often a long-term process with lasting effects. Trauma negatively affects mental health in the aftermath of tragic events, especially for individuals who have suffered trauma in the past.
Alina TeleHealth provides a helping hand during these tragic times by offering emergency psychiatric services and care.
Secure
Alina Telehealth uses secure technology to keep your personal health information safe. All appointments are subject to standards as in-person appointments.
Accessible
Telemedicine is often utilized in rural areas with limited access to medical specialists and in urban settings where hospitals may not staff specific specialists, allowing providers to serve more patients and provide consumers quicker access to consultants.

In addition to providing remote health benefits, healthcare via telecommunications can even save patient lives. In emergencies, emergency telepsych provides support, aid, and comfort to victims during tragic events.
