Rethinking Compliance in IDD

Time

March 24, 2026 | 11:00 AM ET | 1 hour

About

Compliance in the IDD system is essential to protecting individual rights, safety, and public funding, but the way compliance is implemented can unintentionally harm the mental health of the workforce responsible for carrying it out. When compliance pressure exceeds workforce capacity, mental health absorbs the impact, leading to anxiety, fear of mistakes, silence instead of early reporting, and moral distress. 

Hear ANCOR members, Olivia Kaplan, MSW, LSW, Director of Employee Success, and Brandi Forman, Vice President of Compliance and Regulatory Affairs, dive into how trauma-informed compliance strengthens workforce well-being and system performance. 

You’ll learn how to: 

Explain how compliance pressure impacts workforce mental health and executive functioning in IDD settings.

 Identify  the differences between punitive and protective compliance models and their effects on reporting culture.

Apply trauma-informed care principles to compliance processes without reducing accountability .
