Learning Objectives:
1. Describe specific reasons why a trauma-informed care perspective is needed for providing person-centered dementia care in low-resource long-term care settings;
2. Describe how approaches used by staff to collect and share information can support trauma-informed person-centered dementia care in low-resource long-term care settings
3. Identify opportunities for supporting the provision of trauma informed person-centered dementia care in low-resource long-term care settings.
