Trauma-Informed Telehealth is a fast-developing type of telehealth that uses the power of technology to help victims of trauma get the care they need. The trauma-informed telehealth model is based on the idea that treating trauma is a multidimensional experience that includes personal, social, psychological, and spiritual components. This model recognizes that different victims experience trauma in different ways and that each person’s experience must be accounted for when implementing trauma-informed care.

Various trauma-informed telehealth approaches are effective in helping clients recover from the effects of trauma. Telecoaching, telepsychoeducation, teleconsultation, and telehealth services can all be used to provide psychosocial and medical support to individuals experiencing trauma. Telehealth can be especially useful for individuals who have difficulty accessing conventional medical care or who live in remote areas.

This program is designed for professionals interested in learning about the benefits of using trauma-informed telehealth approaches with behavioral health populations. 

Strategies for implementing trauma-informed telehealth approaches into practice are discussed. Implications for interviewing, screening, and intervention are explored through a trauma-informed telehealth lens. Empirically based research findings are highlighted throughout this program.

Relevant topics reviewed during this program include:

  • Trauma and other life adversities
