As we continue to learn more about the Covid-19, we are putting into place protocols to help keep you safe and healthy. We also need your help in keeping our participants healthy and communicating any concerns that may arise. The health and safety of our employees and participants are the guiding factors in all of our decisions.
Effective May 6, 2020 we will rely on you to proactively contact the participant you are scheduled to work with each day to make sure he or she is healthy. Also, we ask that you self-report to On-Call if you are sick.
In addition, we will be providing Support Professionals and Job Coaches with personal protective equipment (PPE). Gloves, masks and hand sanitizer will be available to you (as long as we continue to have access).
Current pick up times for PPE are by appointment only. Please contact your supervisor. We do hope to implement regular office pick-up availability soon.
(formerly Quarterly Trainings) SPACE IS LIMITED
The rest of the 2020 Schedule coming soon!
Community Training Options Looking for additional topics? If you find an educational opportunity in the community and would like to receive credit for attending, please speak to your supervisor for approval.
The Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities (CIDD) 2019 Community Talk Series is always a valuable experience. These sessions are pre-approved for Quarterly Training credit, but you must RSVP to both the CIDD (click here) AND The Arc (as described above) to receive credit.
DON'T FORGET!
Your notes need to be done by midnight the day after your shift. That means SIGNING them too!! :)
