Trainings

The Public Authority offers a variety of free training sessions on a quarterly basis. We partner with local organizations to offer training programs available to all Care Providers.

Online Modules

• In collaboration with Dominican University’s Occupational Therapy students, we’ve created an IHSS Learning Module for care providers. These modules are made with the intention to educate caregivers on how to safely engage in transfers, body mechanics, and overall wellness. We encourage you to click through each page and look through each subcategory.
