Behavioral Health and Trauma Informed Care

As part of GHCA's educatio goals for 2026 to equip LTC leaders, clinicians, and staff with the knowledge and skills needed to stay compliant, improve quality outcomes, and strengthen survey readiness, we are focusing each month on a critical area of LTC operational or clinical risk, blending regulatory guidance with practical strategies for implementation of corrective actions. Participants will gain actionable insights and tools to enhance facility performance, survey readiness, and risk mitigation.

Facilities continue to face increased challenges in meeting the Behavioral Health and Trauma Informed Care needs of their residents. This session will provide an overview of the critical components of an effective LTC Behavioral Health program. Regulatory requirements will be reviewed, and tools and tips will be shared to assist the facility in demonstrating a comprehensive grasp of the elements necessary to support compliance with this aspect of care.
