Welcome to the Long-Term Care Toolkit
This toolkit is part of a research project that focuses on building psychological safety in long term care and strengthening equity and trauma informed organizational capacity. Our team has developed a multi-level, intersectional inventory of high-quality resources.
Whether you’re a registered nurse, nurse practitioner, registered practical nurse, personal support worker, trainee, healthcare leader/manager/supervisor, director, administrator or HR specialist in long term care, there is something here for you.
Upon entering the site, you can choose resources based on the focus of the intervention, sector, format, or location. We want to create a community of support for long term care so if you try a resource and like it, feel free to click on the logo and leave a comment.

Supporting our Staff
This toolkit draws on the Vanderbilt Model of Professional Behaviour (Hickson et al., 2007) and Professor Michael West’s (2017) research on compassionate leadership and the function of teams to guide organisations to a new way of thinking, focus for action and the crucial link back to improved patient care.
Workplace Violence Prevention Toolkit
Workplace Violence Prevention Toolkit, created by WeRPN, with support from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, was designed to support nurse’s knowledge and confidence in addressing workplace violence and harassment in their workplace.
