Creating Trauma-Informed Long-Term Care Organizations

Trauma-informed long-term care organizations recognize that residents, patients, family members, and staff may have histories of adversity and trauma that impact their experiences within the dailiness of the organization. Similar to how health care professionals put on gloves as a universal precaution when there is a chance that they may be exposed to pathogens, being trauma-informed involves metaphorically putting on gloves by being intentional about how we do our work.
