As the numbers of adult residents impacted by PTSD, mental disorders, brain injury, and substance use disorders continue to increase, ensuring staff possess the competency and skill sets to address mental health will take on a new significance. Join AHCA/NCAL for a webinar on Trauma-Informed Care Providing Mental Health Services in Long Term Care on April 24 offering a framework for developing an assessment and person-centered approach to care planning that will prove successful for this emerging population of younger, more complicated adults.

Maintaining a caregiving environment that supports positive psychosocial functioning requires that staff understand how PTSD, mental disorders, brain injury, and substance use disorders differ from dementia to ensure appropriate care and services are provided.
