Please join us for our next chapter meeting with 1 hour of NHAP/p and BRN CEU credits

Sexuality is here to stay in LTC and staff need to be prepared.  Concepts will be reviewed to determine if your staff’s level of awareness and cultural competency around this very prevalent issue is up to par. Participants will learn methods to promote residents' sexuality while honoring all residents’ rights.  

Brooke Russo has been in long-term care since 1989. She graduated from Santa Clara University in 1989 with a bachelor’s in psychology and in 1993, graduated from San Jose State University with a Master’s in Social Work.

Her passion is teaching facility staff how to manage residents with difficult behaviors while implementing creative and person-appropriate interventions.  When staff learns new methods and interventions for working with challenging residents, not only does staff's confidence level and skill set rise, residents have an improved quality of life.  Her Behavior Management trainings are well known for their simplicity, effectiveness, and "fun". Brooke is now a certified trainer for Positive Approach to Care certification, developed by Teepa Snow, and will be looking forward to training others using this amazing technique. 

Since her original start in long-term care, Brooke has been committed to improving the standard of practice in social services departments as well as raising other departments' awareness of the true capabilities of this discipline. The metamorphosis that has occurred with this position over the past two decades is significant and her group offers an online SSD Certification course group three times a year.  This position is much more clinical as well as revenue-producing which many clinical and operations individuals are beginning to recognize and embrace.  

One of Brooke's core values is her belief that "one of the successes in life is making your vocation your vacation," Mark Twain.   She practices this paradigm routinely and incorporates it into training sessions.
