in partnership with the USC Adolescent Trauma Training Center & the Great Lakes Mental Health Technology Transfer Center.
Description: As the COVID-19 pandemic continues and intensifies, clinicians and youth are confronted with social distancing and other infection control requirements that generally preclude in-person psychotherapy. In this workshop, the presenters outline the benefits and challenges of providing trauma therapy to adolescents over the internet, describe specific trauma-focused tools and interventions, discuss strategies and concerns regarding caretaker and family involvement, and make a series of concrete suggestions regarding best practices for teletherapy.
