During Caregiving, We Train Ourselves

We learn on the job. That’s hard to do.

Last week, I asked about any training you’ve received in caring for your family members.

You won’t surprised to learn that family caregivers told me that they haven’t received training. They learned in the moment when they had to figure it out and make it happen.

Imagine how many, right now, are at home trying to figure it out on their own?

We want to change the lack of training for family caregivers. Our Certified Caregiving Consultants are instructors in a training program we’ve created. We believe that family caregivers are professionals who deserve a professional name, training, salary and benefits.

We’re in the process of professionalizing the personal caregiving experience. We’ve got a name (Family Care Manager) and we’ve got training (Certified Family Care Manager training). We hope we’ll find funding for salaries and benefits soon.

We currently have a pilot program for our Certified Family Care Manager Training. If you’d like to receive training at no charge, please enroll. We’d love for you to experience our training and to share feedback to make it better.
