Effective Service Coordination: Engaging Consumers with a Holistic Approach to Independent Living Services (15 Hours)
About the Training
Originally developed as an on-location training, this training will help you incorporate all of the services and programs your Center offers to create a seamless environment where consumers work with your staff to realize their independence. Not only will you learn best practices and innovative approaches to the four core services and other common CIL programs, you’ll gather proven methods for joining your services and programs to create a holistic and supportive environment for consumers. Led by a team of highly experienced and effective center staff, this training is practical and necessary for new CIL staff and managers.
Learning Objectives

- gather consumer information, develop IL Plans & maintain complete and accurate records,
- use a strengths-based approach to interviewing and assisting consumers to assess their needs,
