Presentation Info: TAHC&H Event | Winter Conference General Session | Rich-Media Presentation Capture | Immediate No-Charge Online Access from This Page Presentation Date: February 19, 2026 Program Description: The momentum is undeniable: home is where people want to receive care. Yet in a fast-shifting policy and regulatory landscape, belief alone won’t shape outcomes - leaders and their voices will. View this rich-media presentation at no charge. You'll be able to access a candid, solutions-focused panel of home care leaders and public advocacy experts as they unpack why advocacy matters right now, in the context of the issues dominating today’s headlines - payment reductions, workforce pressure, regulatory change, juxtaposed to the expanding promise of care-at-home. This is not a training; it’s a timely conversation designed to translate current events into clear priorities and practical next steps for your organization. You’ll hear real-world stories from leaders who’ve navigated barriers - limited time, message fatigue, and the “how do I start?” problem - and turned them into action that resonates with policymakers, partners, and communities. Walk away with clarity on what’s at stake, what’s moving, and where your voice can make the greatest impact in the weeks and months ahead. This important presentation is made available to you at no-charge, courtesy of TAHC&H and the Home Care Information Network. It provides valuable insight into how you as a provider, along with TAHC&H, can participate in making an impact on legislation and regulations. This presentation does not award continuing education.

Presentation Info: TAHC&H Event | 57th Annual Meeting | Rich-Media Presentation Capture | Online On-Demand Access Presentation Date: September 2nd, 2026 Program Description: Most organizations already have workplace violence policies, reporting processes, and safety initiatives in place. The challenge is ensuring those efforts translate into a coordinated, measurable, and compliant workplace violence prevention program.

This program provides a practical framework for evaluating and strengthening existing workplace violence prevention programs. You will explore common gaps that limit effectiveness, learn how high-performing organizations operationalize safety across intake, field operations, incident reporting, and committee oversight, and identify opportunities to improve both compliance readiness and caregiver support. Through real-world examples and interactive discussion, participants gain actionable strategies to advance their organization's workplace violence prevention efforts from a collection of activities into a sustainable, organization-wide program.
