Webinar: Covid-19 and Trauma Informed Care: Strategies for Caregivers | AL & SNF
Sponsored by Select Rehabilitation Inc., a WHCA Associate Business member.
Thursday, January 7, 2021
COURSE OVERVIEW
For most people, COVID-19 will be associated with increased uncertainty and stress. When we are under stress, we are more likely to trigger the “survival” or “fight or flight” responses in our brain. For some, this may mean difficulty with executive functions, for others, difficulty managing emotional responses, and for others, it may mean difficulty making decisions. How we respond to COVID is individualized. The global pandemic is affecting us as healthcare workers and the residents whom we serve. How should we as staff care for and approach our residents? How should we approach our staff? And how will our future interactions be affected? This session will review these concepts and more as we look at using a trauma-informed approach to address the COVID pandemic.
