NEW: USC-ATTC staff and colleagues have created a comprehensive guide to teletherapy for multiply traumatized youth in the COVID pandemic. It especially considers social maltreatment (e.g., racism, homophobia, transphobia, poverty) as it adds to the trauma, exacerbates COVID-19 effects, and interferes with access to mental health services.
