"The sessions highlighted the
professional and personal reali es
we bring to the work we do, the
people we serve; and, those we
feel a great sense of responsibility
for, especially, in light of COVID-19.
This includes our residents, LTC
staff colleagues, our loved ones,
and ourselves. Being
able to speak with staff who are
returning to LTC, not just around
their plans for the care they hope
to provide to residents with
responsive behaviours, but also,
how they are 'feeling' about going
back in, was cri cally important.
I know there may be challenges
ahead, but have a few more tools
in the 'kit bag' to draw from."
