Staff Training • Michigan AFC CEU
Strengthen the culture in your Adult Foster Care home by improving how staff relate to one another, residents, and families. This course explores practical strategies for respectful communication, clear expectations, conflict resolution, and teamwork that supports quality care.
Learn how tone, body language, and word choice can either build trust or create tension — and how to keep communication professional even during stressful shifts.
Explore healthy ways to address disagreements between staff, avoid gossip, protect boundaries, and keep the focus on residents and quality care.
Discover everyday practices that encourage mutual support, reduce burnout, and create a work environment residents and families can feel good about.
Positive working relationships are not optional in group living — they are essential to safety, dignity, and stable operations. Use this course to refresh your team’s mindset and keep collaboration at the center of your AFC program.
