Quality of Life – Social Engagement and Visitation Strategies

Program Format

Zoom Webinar
 

Program Details

Tuesday, February 22, 2022, 1:30 - 3:30 p.m. (ET)

COVID-19 seems to be persisting and the need for balancing diligent infection prevention with social engagement and visitation continues. Welcoming visitors to the community and resuming group activities requires careful planning and consideration. The emotional fallout from the pandemic for residents, staff, and families may present in a variety of ways, all of which can be anticipated as a necessary part of healing and recovery from this traumatic period. How do we restore our communities’ vibrant social lives and maintain close connections among residents and loved ones, while protecting them from infection? This session offers insight into the importance of socialization and productivity in the process of healing and recovery. More than busy work or entertainment, person-centered, therapeutic engagement should be an integral part of trauma-informed care. Successful strategies for this type of therapeutic engagement and visitation in the context of COVID will also be discussed.
