An active shooter in the long-term setting is something no one wants to think about, but preparation for this type of emergency is a must.  With the additional challenges for preparation and response in this environment, the Active Shooter Prevention and Response for Long-Term Care training will explore pre-incident prevention and preparation, during incident response, and post incident planning and response specifically for long-term care settings. The training will provide tools and strategies from the individual employee and organizational levels.   

The interactive training will include discussion of policy and procedure, situational awareness, communication of concerns, Run/Hide/Fight alone and with residents, working with law enforcement and preparedness requirements.  Engaging learning exercises and a multiple part tabletop exercise will provide opportunities to apply what they learn.  

To maximize the impact of the training and application in organizations, we recommend attending as a group of at least four.  This might include safety committee members, staff from various departments/roles/shifts and leadership.
