Early Career Support. Through the administration of the CTiBS Early Career Telehealth and Technology Grant, we support emerging professionals in pursuing innovation and excellence in telehealth.
JTiBS Partnership. Our support and contributions to the journal founded by our group in 2015, the Journal of Technology in Behavioral Science (JTiBS), underscore our commitment to interprofessional discourse, enriching the body of knowledge with cutting-edge research and practical applications in telebehavioral health.
Telehealth Implementation Committee (TIC). This committee is instrumental in bridging gaps in interprofessional dialogue by identifying and engaging innovative leaders across disciplines to contribute insights on telebehavioral health implementation in JTiBS.

Historical Initiatives

Telebehavioral Health Competencies Task Force. Previously, our focus included exploring methods to validate competencies in behavioral health technologies (e.g., telehealth, mHealth), ensuring practitioners’ proficiency in these critical tools.
JTiBS Contributions. We have encouraged participation in the Journal for Technology in Behavioral Science as reviewers, fostering a community of scholars committed to advancing the field.
Educational Resources. Our past initiatives also involved the development of competency-based derivative textbooks and journal articles aimed at providing comprehensive educational materials to the field.

CTiBS remains at the forefront of telebehavioral health, driving innovation, research, and professional development to enhance the effectiveness and reach of telehealth services.
