Many individuals have difficulty in understanding their pain or telling others about it. A person’s life can be greatly improved when pain and the cause of pain is discovered.
WIN nurses are experienced in looking for and finding individual’s hidden pain. This class will help raise your awareness of pain possibilities that may negatively affect individuals that you support.
These webinars are free to attend and accessed through Zoom Video Conferencing. There is a $20 charge to receive a Certificate of Attendance for 1.5 Continuing Education Hours. For more information on participation credit, contact Rachel Weingarten: weingarten@waisman.wisc.edu.
Waisman WIN Distance Learning
The Waisman WIN (Wellness Inclusion Nursing) program is excited to announce a new series of online training opportunities for individuals around the state of Wisconsin. This series provides expertise, training, and resources through videoconference workshops for individuals who support the overall health and well being of adults and children with IDDs in their communities.
Access to resources and clinical services focused on the specialized healthcare needs of individuals with disabilities may not be available in many rural and underserved communities in Wisconsin and beyond. To meet this need, the Waisman Center aims to expand access to its specialized resources and expertise through WIN videoconference workshops.
Who should participate?
Family members, caregivers, residential and vocational staff, and others who support adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) in the community.
About Waisman WIN:
