As the result of a federal grant awarded to the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Center for Career Development (CCDET), the Division of Quality Assurance and the University are pleased to repeat the popular Caregiver Abuse & Neglect Prevention train-the-trainer workshops in locations statewide. These workshops are intended to give facilities regulated by DQA the necessary tools to train their own direct care staff. The workshops are free but registration is limited. Sign up today!

2) Topical Training for Trainers –UPDATED FOR 2010: This 6-hour workshop offers providers approximately 16 hours of ready-made training for direct caregivers on topics such as communication skills, professional boundaries, responding to challenging situations, skills for professional success, reducing stress, and more. A new module, Preventing Medication Diversion, has been added.

The target audience for these workshops includes facility trainers, supervisors and persons responsible for making training decisions. Workshops continue to be led by experienced facilitators from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh CCDET.
