BUNIA, DR Congo, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- At an Ebola treatment center in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), saving lives sometimes begins with persuading frightened patients not to flee. For clinical psychologist Theophraste Tetunabu, fear can be as formidable an obstacle as the disease itself.

"When patients are told they have tested positive, they fear death. Some may even decide to leave or run away," Tetunabu told Xinhua.

Long-term care (LTC) facilities are actually people’s homes. It’s where many Canadians live out their final days. But not all the residents in LTC receive the specialized care they need. Often seniors’ behaviour that could be the result of past traumas is written off as a symptom of dementia. Care aides need training to identify the difference and provide trauma-informed care.
