Working in Michigan Adult Foster Care means showing up every day for some of the most vulnerable people in our communities — individuals with intellectual disabilities, mental illness, autism, TBI, and complex behavioral needs. That work demands more than good intentions. It demands knowledge, skill, and confidence.
Introduction to Human Services and Meeting Special Needs — available now through Direct Care Training On-Line Learning — was built specifically for the people doing that work.
Whether you are a direct care worker just starting your career, an AFC home manager building your team’s competency, or a program supervisor looking for affordable, accessible staff development, this course delivers the foundational knowledge your team needs to provide quality, person-centered care.
The course covers career opportunities in human services, strategies for supporting individuals with special needs, community resources, and the values that drive effective, dignified care. It is self-paced, fully online, and accessible from any device — making it easy to complete around a busy care schedule.
At just $89.95, it is one of the most affordable Michigan STWG-aligned training investments available for AFC providers today. It counts toward your staff development obligations and supports your organization’s compliance posture under Michigan’s consolidated AFC rules (R 400.601–R 400.745).
If you are serious about building a knowledgeable, capable direct care team — this is where you start.
