Empowering our Future will bring together an emerging network of workers, worker-advocates, and their supporters who are concerned about the future of long-term care in Pennsylvania. It will provide a unique opportunity for direct-care workers to learn from each other and create new alliances with colleagues from across the state who understand the crucial role direct-care workers play in our state’s long-term care system.
Workshops and activities for personal care attendants, nursing assistants, and other direct-care workers will cover a range of topics, including:
- working with clients with dementia
- resolving conflicts
- managing your personal finances
- communicating effectively with policymakers
