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.
