1:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Session 8- Trauma Informed Care In A COVID PAC And BeyondUnderstanding trauma informed care is important as it represents an integrated approach to IDT understanding residents holistically. In the current COVID crisis and beyond, IDTs must approach resident assessment with an eye, ear and heart toward understanding resident specific trauma and how a resident specific experience of trauma may affect the nuance of care planning, goal setting and outcomes achievement. AAPACN members will benefit from an understanding of how a truly interdisciplinary approach is necessary to a resident oriented, outcomes driven concept of care that allows past and present trauma to inform specific care pathways.Sponsored by: Broadriver RehabPresenter: Renee Kinder Broadriver RehabExecutive Vice President of Clinical Services Lexington, KY

Session 12 – Kindness and Civility In The Workplace In order to attract and retain workers in today’s tight labor market, steps should be taken to create a kinder work culture. Studies show that employees who are unhappy will choose to leave an employer because of a manager or co-worker’s behavior towards them. On the other hand, employees are more likely to stay and be productive if your workplace fosters a culture of kindness and civility. In addition to recruitment and retention factors, unkind behavior can lead to harassment and bullying, and may ultimately lead to legal action. Civility is the new movement to avoid harassment. Attend this session to discover how to foster and grow your best workplace.Sponsored by: DBL LawPresenters: Mitchel Denham, PartnerKelly Holden, PartnerDBL LawLouisville, KY
