STM publisher Elsevier in collaboration with the Research and Training Center on Community Living (RTC/CL) at the University of Minnesota's Institute for Community Integration, has announced that its new Person-Centered Counseling Training courses are available to purchase. These courses were created after DirectCourse was selected by the Administration for Community Living (ACL) to develop and provide content for a newly-developed Person-Centered Counseling (PCC) Training Program pilot designed for systems navigators working in the No Wrong Door (NWD) System.
The PCC Training Program launched January 4, 2016, in 12 pilot states and the District of Columbia. It is available to purchase to any state seeking to provide training to systems navigators of the No Wrong Door System. The NWD Person Centered Counseling Training Program content is authored jointly by the RTC/CL, the University of California, San Francisco, and Support Development Associates (SDA).
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Community Living has selected Elsevier and the Research and Training Center on Community Living at the University of Minnesota to develop and provide this new content as part of DirectCourse, an online training curriculum designed for the workforce that supports people with disabilities.
The PCC Training Program comprises six online courses developed by the RTC/CL and the University of California, San Francisco, and one in-person course developed by Support Development Associates (SDA) that will train support coordinators within participating states on the four key functions of a state's No Wrong Door System, including public outreach and coordination with key referral sources; person-centered counseling that helps make sense of a fragmented system and facilitates the best informed choices by those seeking services; streamlined access to public long-term services and support (LTSS); and state governance and administration (data-driven decisions).
The eight Part A States that initially were awarded grants to participate in the No Wrong Door System pilot include: Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, Oregon, Vermont, Wisconsin and Washington. Since that time, an additional four states have been included, along with the District of Columbia: Alabama, Colorado, Hawaii and Virginia.
