Required Trainings
Crisis Planning Training Series
This eLearning training consists of 3 modules: Defining Crisis and Safety; The Crisis Cycle; and Creating and Implementing Crisis Plans. At the completion of the training series, learners will have an enhanced understanding of what a crisis is, how people experience and define crisis, when and how we can intervene to help people in crisis, and how to create a plan that is both proactive and reactive to crises. This series meets the training requirement for Crisis and Safety Planning that all YES Waiver staff are required to take prior to providing services to YES Waiver youth and families. Upon successful completion of this eLearning training, you will receive a certificate of completion, but no continuing education is offered.
Critical Incident Reporting (CIR)
This eLearning training consists of 3 modules: Key aspects of Critical Incident Reporting (CIR); Types of Critical Incidents; and Critical Incident Reporting Requirements & Responsible Parties. The CIR training is not meant to be the final authority on critical incident reporting. There are varying expectations and requirements that differ between agencies and are subject to change over time. Thus, this training is meant to serve as a generalized guide to critical incident reporting. The final decision-making process related to critical incident reporting is subject to each individual’s agency of oversight. Upon successful completion of this eLearning training, you will receive a certificate of completion, but no continuing education is offered.

Please note, you must create an account/login to locate the catalog of trainings which contain the two required eLearning courses.
