The Elephant in the Room – Navigating Sensitive Situations

DATE: Thursday, April 27, 2023
Noon – 1 p.m. CST

COURSE DESCRIPTION

What do you do when there’s “an elephant in the room?” This metaphorical idiom refers to an important or enormous topic, question, or controversial issue that is obvious to everyone but no one wants to bring it up because it’s uncomfortable, embarrassing, or controversial.

Long-term care providers certainly have their share of elephants. While it is impossible to avoid sensitive situations, there are tactics for cooling down the scenario by remembering the ICE approach – Identify, Confront, and Examine.

Join this free webinar to:

  • Learn how to navigate sensitive and uncomfortable situations

  • Practice the ICE approach of Identifying, Confronting, and Examining

  • Gain insight into how to recognize and prevent tough scenarios before they escalate
