About
As part of the New York State Lifespan Respite Grant, NYSOFA has implemented Charting The LifeCourse For Respite Tools to enhance staff knowledge and skills in assisting families to navigate respite options using a person-centered approach, and to improve access to respite care statewide. This training is geared towards public-facing NY Connects staff (especially Person-Centered Options Counselors) as well as Caregiver Program staff who help caregivers to plan for respite care and understand its benefits. This training is not required, but highly recommended for NY Connects and Caregiver Program staff. The steps to complete the training are outlined below.
