Identifying Pain
Understanding and identifying pain is important, especially in the event a resident may not respond to pain in a typical way or have the ability to properly communicate or even understand the pain. Most important, be sure to report when behaviors seem unusual.

Trauma-Informed Care
Trauma-Informed Care is an organizational culture that recognizes that everyone who interacts with an agency may have a past traumatic experience that we may or may not know about. A trauma-informed organization treats everyone in ways that protect trauma survivors from re-traumatization much like universal precautions assume that all body fluids might contain a blood-borne disease.
