CBRF Training
We’re excited to announce that beginning October 2023, Covey will be offering Community Based Residential Facilities (CBRF) Training to both our staff and other service providers! Taught by Sara Akin, our certified Director of Care Programs, this training will be in Fire Safety, First Aid, Medication Administration and Management, and Standard Precautions.
All classes will be in person, located at [TBD]. For your convenience, we do provide several night and weekend classes. These trainings do have limited capacity, so register now!
On April 1, 2009, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) implemented the revised Wis. Admin Code ch. DHS 83, licensing standards and regulations for community-based residential facilities (CBRFs). Minimum training requirements for CBRF personnel changed substantially with a delayed implementation date of April 1, 2010, for all current department-approved CBRF training plans and approved trainers as indicated in Wis. Admin. Code § DHS 83.20:
DHS 83.20 Department-approved Training. (1) APPROVED TRAINING. (a) Training for standard precautions, fire safety, first aid and choking, and medication administration and management shall be approved by the department or designee and shall be provided by trainers approved by the department or designee. Approvals for training plans and trainers for standard precautions, fire safety, first aid and choking, and medication administration and management issued before April 1, 2009, shall expire April 1, 2010.
All approvals previously issued to CBRF trainers and training programs were null and void after March 31, 2010. Source
