The course focuses on trauma informed care practices, evaluating meaning in communication and documentation, skills for assessing capacity and literacy, and understanding mandatory reporting protocols.

I think the training is very helpful. Other ways to improve it is to create more videos of actual situations like dealing with a difficult member over the phone or dealing with a difficult case can help a visual learner like me.Jed Aruejo, LVN Nurse Case Manager, Health Plan of San Mateo

In addition, the course includes modules on psychosocial aspects of care, managing multiple chronic conditions, working with special populations, and completing effective home visits. Each module within the course can be taken separately.
