Register for the webinar

Join us for a webinar where national and state leaders and leading subject matter experts will share successes, lessons learned, and strategies for initiating, scaling, and sustaining change amid shifting policies and budgets. Discover how 14 states are transforming their direct care workforces to support the provision of home and community-based services (HCBS) through the Direct Care Workforce (DCW) Strategies Center's Peer Learning Collaboratives (PLCs).

During this webinar, participants will hear about how state teams, made up of representatives from across agencies, have come together through the PLCs to share best practices, brainstorm strategies for tackling common barriers and challenges, and achieve meaningful milestones toward building a more robust HCBS direct care workforce. States will share how the benefits of peer-to-peer learning with a small group of states, focused on similar priorities and accessing national subject matter experts, have helped them achieve measurable progress toward strengthening this essential workforce.

Whether you're a policymaker, HCBS program implementer, or workforce leader, this session will inspire and equip you to drive meaningful change in your state. Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about strategies for shaping the future of HCBS direct care.

Registrants can note accommodation needs - such as captioning or sign language - on the registration page. The webinar will be live captioned. Webinars are recorded and posted with supporting materials on the DCW Strategies Center website.
