N2 - During the COVID-19 pandemic, many traditional psychiatric rehabilitation staff training and support strategies were disrupted or discontinued. This article describes the strategies used by one state system to rapidly migrate many state psychiatric rehabilitation training and support activities to a website. Site analytics showed high use of the website in the first year, with 6,673 unique visitors and 4,529 visits to the site’s staff support materials. Additionally, more than 4,879 online trainings were accessed on the website. Given the low cost; ease of development, implementation, and maintenance; and the high access rate of this website, migration of some staff training and support activities online may be appropriate and feasible for other state psychiatric hospital systems both during and after the pandemic.
