The National Center on Law & Elder Rights will host a webinar exploring how trauma can appear uniquely for older adults facing a loss of change in their housing and how advocates can adjust their practice to accommodate and empower their clients. This webinar will also explore how trauma can impact older adults in a nursing facility setting who may be facing involuntary discharge. This training will cover a basic overview of trauma and trauma-informed practices; 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.
Presenters:
- Vivianne Mbaku, Director, Equity in Elder Justice, Justice in Aging
- Johna Willis, Staff Attorney, Crime Victims Legal Assistance Project, Legal Aid of Western Michigan
This webinar will take place on Tuesday, July 16 at 2:00 pm ET.
