Canada is adding thousands of long-term care beds, a much-needed investment. But better care requires prioritizing quality alongside quantity, says Dr. Wendy Levinson in a new op-ed: https://loom.ly/ET4R1YI

This project is in the “ramp up” phase, with early work focused on refining the survey and pre-testing questions. The survey is planned to launch online in 2026. Stay tuned!

Findings will support the development of trauma-informed strategies that promote a healthier work culture and improve staff retention, as well as potentially improve and better target EAP resources.

It will help us understand workplace elements that may influence how care aides experience traumatic events or re-traumatization.

The TRACE (Trauma Research for Adverse Care aides’ Experiences) Survey aims to understand how care aides’ exposure to life event trauma and traumatic/adverse events in the work environment affect their mental health, burnout and intention to leave. #careaides #PSWs #trauma #longtermcare #LTC

This resource kit will be comprised of a set of resources co-designed with care staff, managers and ancillary staff in Alberta continuing care homes that can be used to implement trauma informed care at the home level. Work on this project will begin later this year.

More Upcoming TREC Projects! TREC has received funding from the Ministry of Seniors, Community, and Social Services to develop a Trauma Informed Care Resource Kit. #longtermcare #LTC #trauma #TIC #traumainformedcare

Really useful summary from Dr. Harvey Max Chochinov, who does groundbreaking work in the field

“The Canadian Network on Corporate Accountability has long called on Canada to adopt robust human rights and environmental due diligence legislation, and has even developed a model law. As the GardaWorld case illustrates, there’s good reason for the Canadian government to take it forward.”

Dr. Wendy Levinson: In a #care system that's stretched thin, #antipsychoticmedications are sometimes used as a substitute for time, training or resources to provide more personalized care. Read our client op-ed from @choosingwiselyca.bsky.social vancouversun.com/opinion/op-e... #ltc #longtermcare
