DHS is partnering with the Training Institute at People Incorporated to provide new trainings that address youth behavioral health and managing challenging behaviors.
Registration is open for upcoming sessions exploring topics related to effective care for youth experiencing a behavioral health crisis. Follow the links to learn more and register:
If a particular session is full, interested parties may sign up for the session waiting list.
Trainings will run throughout 2024 and 2025 and will be offered live, as well as recorded for later viewing.
 Traditional PCA workers can still sign up for one free training session that may qualify them for a stipend and fulfill a requirement toward an enhanced rate for PCA services they provide to eligible people.
After completing all required training courses, which are also free, participants who meet income qualifications can get a one-time $500 stipend. To access the trainings and learn about eligibility, go to Direct support workers (DSW) training benefits.
If you cannot complete the required trainings because English is not your primary language, apply for an enhanced rate exception. To do this, create a profile at DSW training benefits, and have someone email the program administrator (in English) to explain your language needs.
The Minnesota State Legislature created the PCA training stipends to help attract new direct care workers and keep current employees who provide services to people with disabilities and older adults.
