Unpaid Caregiver Training
An unpaid caregiver is any person (e.g., parent, family member, neighbor, friend, volunteer staff, etc.) who provides uncompensated care, training, guidance, companionship or support to a person (youth or adult) with a disability.
Forward Integrated Services (FIS) provides individualized, short-term, programming (or curriculums) to support an unpaid caregiver with goals to increase confidence, stamina and the ability to support the youth or adult with a disability, while also building their independence. The goals may vary as each unpaid caregiver ‘curriculum’ is individualized based on the specific needs of the participant. Unpaid Caregiver Training and Support focuses on promoting harmony in the home and fostering growth and independence for both the person with a disability and their caregiver. This guided service is provided virtually via weekly sessions with board certified professionals.
Sessions run at an hourly rate of $125/hour. FIS is contracted with the Children's Long Term Support (CLTS) waiver, which often covers a portion, or in some cases, the entire cost of the program.
Coming soon!! FIS is developing programming to work alongside families to complete pre-designed, short-term, topic guidance. Example topics include Preparing for Adulthood, Managing Life After Intensive Services, etc. Be sure to visit our website for exciting updates on services!!
