Group Home Training
Group Home Training Program Courses were developed in consultation with First Nation Group Home Managers. All training's comply with the Customary Standards of Care. Group Home Training's are community-based which allow homes to prioritize and schedule courses in consultation with agency and/or group home representatives, and to review training's staff have completed to date and identity the gaps in training.
