There is an urgent need to bolster psychological safety of Long-Term Care (LTC) workplaces through implementing supports that are equity and trauma informed. Our research builds capacity to implement tools to support trauma-informed approaches that foster LTC workplace psychological safety. Our team of principal knowledge users, researchers, health workers and health system decision makers will: 1) Engage LTC partners to co-design Equity & Trauma-informed supports; 2) Build capacity through rapid implementation; 3) Produce evidence on the implementation, and evaluation of these equity focused solutions; & 4) Increase sector-wide capacity by fostering knowledge mobilization to advance psychological safety of LTC workers.
