Training & Workshops

Nobody hands you a manual.
Here's one.

Two audiences, two very different needs. Families caring for someone they love, and people building a career in direct care. Both taught by someone with six years in healthcare and human services and a Pennsylvania Department of Health license earned the hard way.

For Families

Training for the people who showed up — whether they were ready or not.

Live · 2 Hours · Virtual Certificate Included

Family Caregiver Training Workshop

You became a caregiver without training, without warning, and usually overnight. This is the session nobody offered you.

  • Safe transfers and body mechanics — how to help without hurting either of you
  • Medication organization and tracking systems that actually get used
  • Recognizing a change in condition before it becomes an emergency
  • What to do when they refuse care
  • Caregiver burnout — naming it, and what helps
$65
Per household — bring a sibling or spouse at no extra cost.
Email for Dates → We'll notify you when the next session opens.

For Direct Care Workers

Whether you are just starting or want to do it right from the beginning.

Live · 3 Hours · Virtual Monthly Cohorts Certificate

DCW Career Prep Bootcamp

Everything Pennsylvania requires a direct care worker to know, taught by someone who writes the compliance policies rather than someone reading from a binder.

  • All 16 subject areas required under 28 Pa. Code § 611.55
  • Consumer rights, confidentiality, and mandatory reporting obligations
  • Infection control and personal safety in someone else's home
  • Documentation that holds up — service notes, incident reports, EVV
  • What the clearance process involves and how to prepare for it
$125
Cohorts capped at twelve. Certificate on completion.

Booking for a group, church, or agency? Private workshop sessions can be scheduled for your organization at a group rate. Email us with your group size and what you need covered.
Please don't let cost keep you from learning. A sliding scale is available for workshop registration with documentation of need. Ask before you book — a conversation about your situation always costs nothing.

Thinking about a career in care?

The bootcamp is where most people start. If you are further along than that, we may be hiring.

Training is educational and does not by itself satisfy an employer's obligations under 28 Pa. Code Chapter 611. Certificates document completion of instruction; competency evaluation remains the responsibility of the employing agency or registry.
