Program Description:
Long-term care professionals will encounter individuals with a wide assortment of cultural beliefs and perceptions. Too many times, this creates situations that are deeply offensive to the caregiver. In a work setting, how can LTC professionals navigate “isms” (racism, sexism, etc.) directed at them by residents? How can you mitigate workplace toxicity and protect yourself against residents with this mindset?
