AuSM presents the Autistic Community Summit

Webinars on the ongoing workforce shortages for HCBS and PCA services
Many direct care professionals love their work, but more than a third of these direct care professionals leave the profession every year because of low wages, lack of benefits or other factors. One way to give these professionals more say over their work environment is for them to become business partners through the employee-owned cooperatives model. Join DHS and community business experts to learn how to develop new, or transition existing businesses to, employee-owned cooperatives. Webinars run September 14th and October 4th.
Electronic visit verification (EVV) info session for caregivers and members
