Trauma is pervasive in this world. It comes in many forms and can be different things to different people – but it impacts how we deal with the world around us and the people in it. As care givers, it should impact how we care for the residents living in our buildings. Providing behavioral healthcare and services is an integral part of the person-centered environment and requires an interdisciplinary approach with highly qualified staff. Residents who are trauma survivors must receive culturally competent, trauma-informed care, in accordance with professional standards of practice and that accounts for resident experiences and preferences, in order to eliminate or mitigate triggers that may cause re-traumatization of the resident.
In this session, we will provide guidance around the implementation of the six principles of a trauma-informed care program as it affects the whole organization and discuss the need for individualized approaches to care.
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- Identify the required elements for behavioral health for Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the RoP
- Learn where to find helpful resources to assist with creation of a behavioral health program
- Describe three leadership strategies for caring for someone with behavior or mental health issues
