HCBS Training

Now that you have completed all the modules, your team can revisit any section of the modules that are currently of interest.  Most of the teams in Minnesota working on person-centered and positive supports are working on their long-term plan and know it takes a few years to master this process.  Use the modules as a resource that teams can access whever more information is needed. Teams can send new team members to the HCBS Home page to prepare for their new role.  The Module 1 overview can be a simple way to introduce the process to a stakeholder who wants to learn more about how to implement person-centered and positive supports. Use website links and other resources in the Module Resource Pages alone as part of training efforts for staff.  A summary of the topics covered in each module is listed below.
