Workshop on Staff Shortage (for ALL Caregivers)
2023-06-16 19:30 - 20:30 | Virtual, PA, United States
Workshop on Staff Shortages
Staff shortages. Those two words are words so many Caregivers know all-too-well. There were shortages before the Pandemic, but they have only exponentially increased since 2020. How are the shortages impacting caregivers and their loved ones? What can be done in this situation? How am I supposed to get through this?
Join us as start a conversation and share from experience about various situations we have faced and resources and tools we have used to combat them. As we share, we hope to hear from you along the way about what has been successful for your family as well! This training will be offered three times in June, and you only need to sign up once. A copy of the presentation along with the training recording will be emailed to all who register.
