“Trauma survivors, including veterans, survivors of large-scale natural and human-caused disasters, Holocaust survivors and survivors of abuse, are among those who may be residents of long-term care facilities. For these individuals, the utilization of trauma-informed approaches is an essential part of person-centered care.” -Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 2016 Take this crash course on Trauma Informed Care with Kim Neely! https://lnkd.in/ezNsqfg7

Where we you when the world stopped turning? 23 years ago, America experienced the worst attack on US soil in our country's history. On that day, all eyes were focused on us. On that day, in the midst of tragedy and pure evil, we came together as a nation to show solidarity, love, and compassion. On 9/11/2001, nearly 3,000 people died, including: • 343 firefighters, EMTs, and Paramedics • 23 NYPD officers • 37 Port Authority Police Officers • 184 people at the Pentagon • 40 people who died on Flight 93 in Pennsylvania • Thousands of other people who woke up that morning not knowing what would happen in just a few short hours Since that day, over 45,000 first responders and others who were in the World Trade Center area have been diagnosed with cancer or a disease that has been directly linked to the their exposures on 9/11. There have now been just as many deaths related to 9/11 illnesses than were killled on that terrible day. Let's continue to NEVER FORGET what happened that day. Let's continue to NEVER FORGET the lives of those who died, as well as those who continue to suffer. Let's continue to NEVER FORGET how we came together as ONE NATION on September 12th. We will NEVER FORGET! #PatriotsDay #September11 #911 #FDNY #NYPD #WTC #WorldTradeCenter #NYC #UnitedStatesOfAmerica #USA #America

Habibti 💔💔💔 I can't imagine what is going on in her little heart and mind. How can we expect these children to live after this? We owe them all the love and healing we can give. We owe them an apology every second for the fear, nightmares, and pain they have endured. I feel ashamed of our humanity. We must be more courageous, outspoken, and truthful. We need to hold each other and our leaders more accountable. What have we done? What are we allowing to happen around us? What is the point of living if it means hurting these children so badly and being unable to protect them? What kind of hell on earth are we living in every day? Is this our new civilization? Is this how we live now—going about life as normal while letting these children suffer? Let the aid go through, let us travel there, let us help them. Donate to Gazan families. We must do everything we can and more. Please, we must put these children first—above our ideologies, religions, political agendas and parties, above our fear, above our anger, above anything. Nothing is more important than them. Nothing, yes, nothing. ~~~~~~~~~ Disclaimer: The opinions and comments shared on my LinkedIn profile are solely my own and do not reflect the views of my employer, affiliated organizations, or any other organizations with which I am involved.
