Micro-credentials for PSW Practice

Choosing to be a personal support worker (PSW) offers many rewards; however, it doesn’t come without its share of challenges. Every day you navigate the complex nature of your job. It’s tough work, and a constant evolution, as we try to keep up with the shifting priorities of our health care system.

We recognize that your education and training can’t always prepare you for the realities of your work environment. You’ve spoken and we’ve listened. There haven’t been many formal opportunities for you to expand on your existing PSW skills and certification. That’s why we’ve developed a new fully-online certificate program, along with a wide variety of specialized courses—in areas such as palliative care, and mental health and addiction—to help you fill that gap. And each course completed earns you a digital badge so your can share your achievement.

These new courses encourage you to dig deep and reflect as you advance your interpersonal skills and grow as a successful PSW. With certificate topics such as communication, observation and critical thinking, and empathy and compassion, the goal is to help you build a better connection with your clients and colleagues, enhance your ability to adapt to new situations, and become personally and professionally resilient.

Join us today and start your journey to better care.
