Before a new direct care worker learns your home’s specific routines, they need something more fundamental: a real understanding of who they’re serving and why the human services field approaches care the way it does. Direct Care Training’s Intro to Human Services and Approaches to Special Needs builds exactly that foundation from day one.
The course walks new staff through the history and purpose of human services, then covers the populations they’re most likely to support: intellectual and developmental disabilities, mental illness, substance use disorders, and co-occurring conditions. Each section pairs real understanding with practical, day-to-day support principles — not just definitions.
A strong foundation sets the tone for everything that follows. Give your new hires the right one from the start.
