October 24 at 12pm CST/11am MST

Overview:

Part I: The impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on psychosocial well-being and quality of life

Federal regulations for Trauma-Informed Care and Behavioral Health Services challenge long-term care facilities to ensure that they are fully prepared to care for residents with complex psychosocial needs. Beyond differentiating between dementia and psychiatric illness or addictions, the facility staff must have a working knowledge of the interventions and services necessary to achieve quality care for a rapidly changing population. This session offers an overview of the regulatory expectations and strategies for accomplishing and maintaining compliance and quality.

During part 1 of this series, Barbara will provide an overview of the regulatory expectations for person-centered and trauma-informed care planning. She will cover the five guiding principles of trauma-informed care and the common stages of grief.
