The webinar will delve into the myriad issues that may arise related to staff and residents whose sexual orientation or gender identity may differ from others living and working in a community. The increasing age and medical complexity of residents can create unique situations that staff must have the cultural competence to address.
The profile of facility staff is also changing and becoming more diverse. Cultural understanding is key to creating a positive work environment for these employees.
This presentation will touch on the state of the law in this area, and provide practical tips on how to address questions as they arise within your community related to both staff and residents. Specifically, the webinar will provide:
- An update of relevant state and federal laws, and court decisions
- Guidance on policies and procedures that impact staff
- Guidance on policies and procedures that impact residents
Attendees will be awarded 1.0 ANCC contact hours for completing the webinar. NAB approval is currently pending. Register for the free webinar here.
