9-Week Training Series
We offer training designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of CSS staff at all levels. Since March 2020, they are all offered online through Zoom.
Overview
This online training series offers a blend of synchronous (Zoom) sessions and asynchronous self-paced modules. The training first provides participants with an overview of CSS and psychiatric rehabilitation principles and methods. Participants will then learn more about the evidence-based and best practices within CSS. The training will also highlight documentation requirements for CSS. Work-based learning approaches will be used to help participants apply concepts to fieldwork.
An outline of the training series by session can be accessed via the link below. It includes the topics covered and associated learning objectives.
Target Audience
This training is geared towards direct care staff that have never attended the CSS 9-Week Training Series. However, other CSS staff that would like to learn about the model are welcome (e.g., supervisors, compliance officers).
REGISTRATION: OPEN
This training is for CSS direct care staff, clinicians, and RNs who have never taken the 9-week CSS training through the Rutgers School of Health Professions (SHP).
The series itself will be remote and will begin the week of September 22nd, 2026. It will be a blend of synchronous Zoom meetings and asynchronous (independent) learning activities. This is a camera-on event. If you believe you will be unable to have your camera on throughout the entirety of the Zoom session, your supervisor must reach out to us directly.
