The National Center on Law and Elder Rights is hosting a free webinar, on July 16 at 1:00 PM CT, on trauma-informed housing stability work. The webinar will explore how trauma can appear uniquely for older adults facing a loss of change in their housing, and how housing and services providers can accommodate and empower older adults. The webinar will cover: 

  • A basic overview of trauma and trauma-informed practices, building on their past training that provided an introduction to the concept; 
  • How trauma can impact older adults facing housing instability; 
  • Trauma-informed strategies to implement when working with clients facing a loss or change in housing; and 
  • Promising practices for trauma-informed approaches to involuntary nursing home discharges. 
  • Register here for the July 16 webinar.
