Benefits of Social Media in Mental Health Practices (Part 2)

Social media is not a fad. It allows physicians to “get out of the office” in real time, to learn about patients’ concerns, and to connect with peers.

In Part 2 of this 2-part webcast, Dr David Ballard elaborates on the practicalities of social media for psychiatrists and how it can be used to:

• extend your reach
• build your practice
• help people find you
• use consistent branding
• establish professional relationships
• connect with others

Dr Ballard is Assistant Executive Director, Marketing and Business Development, at the American Psychological Association and the APA Practice Organization, in Washington, DC.
