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.
