Training
The Orange County IHSS Public Authority offers information, resources and training to IHSS Consumers and Providers, free of charge.

We have a library of tapes, books and pamphlets on-site for your review. There are also monthly Provider Peer Support Groups and other training opportunities. Please see below for more information.

PROVIDER PEER SUPPORT GROUP
(Taking the Crisis out of Caregiving)
Have you ever felt overwhelmed or frustrated by your caregiving duties? Do you need more training? If so, come to the Provider Peer Support Group!

We understand the challenges homecare Providers encounter. The Provider Peer Support Group offers you the opportunity to share your experiences, learn from others, gain valuable information and encouragement.

This is your time to Refresh and Re-energize!
