The job is called caregiver. This is the care part.
Empathy Essentials is a 90-minute self-study workbook that teaches caregivers the skills clients and families notice first: how to listen, what your face and body say, and the words you choose. It ends with a Completion Record and certificate.
What's inside
- Caregiver Workbook with 4 lessons: the empathy habit, listening so people feel heard, body language, eye contact and tone, and words that respect
- Every lesson has a client story, "Say this, not that" examples, a scenario, practice activities, reflection questions, and a 5-question quiz (20 questions in all)
- Quiz answer key and a Completion Record for the personnel file, with the course title and training time already filled in
- A quick-reference "Empathy Essentials at a Glance" to keep and reread before a hard visit
- Certificate of Completion
- Staff Training Tracker (Excel): track every caregiver's completed training, with refresher due dates that fill in automatically and overdue training highlighted
- A START HERE guide that walks you through assigning, checking, and filing the course
- Editable Microsoft Word files. Add your agency name and logo
Why it works
These are skills, not personality traits. The workbook gives caregivers words and habits they can use on their very next visit, and gives you a simple record that the training was done. One purchase covers every caregiver at your agency.
