Post COVID 19 there has been significant changes and impacts to the mental health sector. Some of these changes have included increased demand for delivery of virtual supports. Virtual modes of delivery can assist communities by reducing the need for travel, reduced out of pocket expenses and more timely service. Virtual supports have provided a vital role in maintaining services to communities during times of travel restrictions, extreme weather events and allied health worker shortages. The success of virtual mental health supports are as varied and diverse as service delivery methods, but a key indicator of many successful virtual supports is establishment of strong therapeutic relationships. Mental health of students in remote and rural communities has become an increasing area of concern for schools. With mental ill health impacting student’s classroom behaviors, social and emotional functioning, academic and school engagement it is essential to support student’s wellbeing within a school’s context. With increased demands on the health sector students access to supports are strained and becoming increasingly limited. The need for virtual mental health supports in school environments that are suitable, affordable, and effective are vital. While this leaves virtual modes of delivering mental health supports in demand, ensuring community engagement, consultation and buy in can be more challenging. Gaining community support for virtual mental health programs increases the likelihood that students who are most in need will be more likely to seek help. Studies have found that barriers to high school students seeking help include perceived stigma to be a significant factor in determining if students will seek help. Student knowledge of community support and endorsement of mental health programs and help seeking avenues can reduce student’s perception of stigma. Key attributes of success virtual health supports include; strong community connections, established relationships and a collaborative approach.
