The coronavirus pandemic and consequent stay-at-home and other physical distancing measures have increased danger for those at risk for or experiencing family violence. Shifting non-emergent health encounters to telehealth platforms offers unique opportunities to provide trauma-informed care and to connect in new ways with adults and children who may be experiencing abuse. Telehealth and virtual visits also present new challenges related to privacy, safety and digital health equity.
