Training

The FREE National Respite Care Provider Training program will allow you to offer respite care in a paid position or as a volunteer. You’ll learn everything you need to know about working with individuals of all ages and varying abilities, as well as best practices for working with their families.

No experience is necessary. All you need is the desire to provide care and companionship while helping a family caregiver in your community!

National Respite Care Provider Training can be a pathway to employment.

Respite Registry

Once training is completed, you can create a profile/submit your resource on the NYSCRC Respite Registry and make yourself available to family caregivers and agencies looking for your experience, compassion, and time.
