Providing Trauma-Informed Care Across the Continuum

This presentation will provide an overview of trauma-informed care to better understand the effects of trauma on the clients we serve. It will specify ways to incorporate trauma-informed care into hospice and other care settings. A focus will be on assessing clients for a history of trauma and providing person-centered care and interventions to help prevent or mitigate re-traumatization. Interventions will include those for clients who are at end-of-life and who have dementia. Support of staff and the need for training in trauma-informed care will also be covered. Trauma-informed care is now required in all skilled nursing facilities. Due to the prevalence of trauma history and the benefits of trauma-informed care, participants should consider incorporating this into all care settings.
