AHCA/NCAL Releases Two Self-Care Trainings to Help with LTC Staff Retention

The workforce crisis and COVID-19 have exacerbated the demands and pressures faced by staff creating even more challenges for those who work in long term care. ahcancalED is launching two new trainings focused on self-care and resiliency to help long term care staff cope with the stresses they face.

Self-care is an essential and purposeful staff retention strategy. The mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques taught in these two courses net tangible results and support employees in what they do best – caring for others.  State affiliates receive 40% of AHCA/NCAL’s net revenue on sales of these trainings in their respective states.

Two Mindfulness Trainings to Foster Staff Retention

• Improving Staff Resiliency and Retention: An Action Plan that Works is an in-depth course that provides the tools and resources needed to decrease stress levels and help other team members do the same. After attending this session, participants will be able to:

• • Identify stressful situations within their environment.
  • Employ stress reduction techniques that work.
  • Decrease their overall perceived stress levels.

$199 for members and $249 for non-members. 3.50 NAB CEs and 3.0 contact hours through the Iowa Board of Nursing.

• Self-Care: The Secret to Surviving! is an abbreviated course meant for frontline staff struggling with daily work and life stresses. The session includes an interactive quiz to help individuals measure their stress levels followed by strategies that can be individualized to cope with that stress. Managers and supervisors are encouraged to make this course available to staff members experiencing stress and to use it as preventative tool to help employees cope with stress.

$25 for AHCA/NCAL members and $65 for non-members. This 34-minute learning session does not come with CEs.
