There is increasing evidence that the delivery of mental health services via clinical video telehealth (CVT) is an effective means of providing services to individuals with access barriers, such as rurality.

The present article reviews the literature, professional guidelines, and laws that pertain to the provision of mental health services via CVT with high-risk patients and provides suggestions for adapting existing best-practice recommendations for assessing and managing suicide risk to CVT delivery.
