Crisis Planning Training Series
This eLearning training consists of 3 modules: Defining Crisis and Safety; The Crisis Cycle; and Creating and Implementing Crisis Plans.

This series meets the training requirement for Crisis and Safety Planning that all YES Waiver staff are required to take prior to providing services to YES Waiver youth and families. Upon successful completion of this eLearning training, you will receive a certificate of completion, but no continuing education is offered. This training is required one time.
Critical Incident Reporting (CIR)
This eLearning training consists of 3 modules: Key aspects of Critical Incident Reporting (CIR); Types of Critical Incidents; and Critical Incident Reporting Requirements & Responsible Parties.

Thus, this training is meant to serve as a generalized guide to critical incident reporting. The final decision-making process related to critical incident reporting is subject to each individual’s agency of oversight.
