Given the relative absence of empirical evaluations of telemental health interventions for people being trafficked, we discuss advantages and disadvantages of applying telemental health to assessment and treatment and consider the perspectives of patients and mental health providers
We enumerate future directions to advance evidence-based telemental health services for this population. We conclude by advocating for increased empirical and clinical attention to telemental health platforms as a potentially effective modality for traversing some identified obstacles to mental health care among people who are being trafficked.
